Professors Thierry Tambe and Caroline Trippel have been selected to receive an inaugural 2025 Google ML and Systems Junior Faculty Award. The award recognizes the significance and promise of their work in Robust, Trustworthy ML, Trustworthy ML and Health, Application of Learning to Real-World Design Problems, Hardware Formal Methods, Meta Compilers for Portability, and AI Hardware Design.

The award is going to more than 50 assistant professors in 27 U.S. universities whose research is particularly noteworthy for Google. These professors are leading the analysis, design and implementation of efficient, scalable, secure and trustworthy computing systems. Their work crosses the technology stack, from algorithms to software and hardware, enabling machine learning and cloud computing at increasingly massive scale. The recipients, who were selected by a distinguished group of Google engineers and researchers, will receive grants of $100,000 in unrestricted funding.

 Google is very excited to see the breakthroughs the next generation of faculty will deliver in the years ahead. They will help invent the future and mentor the next generation of talented students, many of whom will become faculty members on their own, start new companies or populate startups and large companies alike.

Please join us in congratulating our amazing junior faculty!
