Not known for his love of convention, Brown CS faculty member Shriram Krishnamurthi recently saw an invitation to deliver a keynote address in the middle of a sabbatical as an opportunity to abandon days of quiet contemplation in favor of a subcontinent-spanning lecture tour.
The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) is the world’s largest educational and scientific society for computing. Their ACM India Annual Event provides an occasion for India’s computing community to come together, along with key contributors from across the world, and celebrate recent achievements in the field. Shriram keynoted the event (“The Human Factors of Formal Methods”, recording available here) on February 10, and his fellow presenters were ACM Turing Award winner Robert Metcalfe, Yael Tauman Kalai, winner of the ACM Prize in Computing, and Pravin Bhagwat, the co-founder of Mojo Networks.
Shriram combined this talk with an India tour. He visited IIIT-Bengaluru, RV University (Bengaluru), IIT-Gandhinagar, IIIT-Hyderabad, IIT-Madras (Chennai), and IISc (Bengaluru). He also enjoyed speaking to programmer audiences in Bengaluru at the Compilers Meetup and Papers We Love events. Most of all, with Prof. Neeldhara Misra of IIT-Gandhinagar, he organized a multi-day workshop to introduce people to computing education as a research area.
