Present Women of Computing

The women listed on this page have consented to be listed, and have furnished the information about themselves. Please help us build this page...

We solicit your help in the construction of this section. We would like to develop a list of Computer Science/Engineering professors (at all ranks), along with short paragraphs (or links) describing the women listed.

For other students and professional women in computing research/computing industry, we are constructing a list of links to their top-level HTML page at their home institutions.

We will only include information with the consent of the woman in question. If you know of someone who would be willing to be listed, please ask them to send us the relevant information by using this icon:
