The 2010 Longuet-Higgins award has been given to Pedro Felzenszwalb and Daniel Huttenlocher, for their paper "Efficient Matching of Pictorial Structures", Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition 2000. This award goes to a paper from 10 years ago that has made a fundamental impact on computer vision. Congratulations, Pedro!

The Department offers a new dimension to its webpage: we now offer a range of videos of activities in our department, ranging from sample classes to seminars by outside guests. This has been made possible by a generous gift from Alex Gurevich, a member of the Visiting Committee of the Physical Sciences Division. Check out the link above.

Anne Rogers has been awarded the Llewellyn John and Harriet Manchester Quantrell Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching this year. A richly deserved honor! For more information see: http://www.uchicago.edu/about/accolades/quantrell.shtml

Laszlo Babai has been named the George and Elizabeth Yovovich Professor at the University. Please join us in congratulating Laci on this honor!

Our own "Works in Theory" team (Korei Klein, Matthew Steffen, and Louis Wasserman, coached by Borja Sotomayor) travelled to Harbin, China to participate in the ICPC World Finals. The team placed 86th out of 103 teams. You can read a recap of the trip and contest, along with pictures here. Please congratulate the the team on this achievement. Tryouts for the regional contest scheduled for November 6th, 2010 will be held this Spring. If you are interested please contact Borja Sotomayor.

The Simons Foundation has announced that a two-year post-doctoral fellowship was been awarded for a young scholar to come to the department to work with the Theory group, beginning in the fall of 2012. This is one of 68 post-doctoral fellowships awarded by the Foundation in the fields of mathematics, theoretical physics, and theoretical computer science.
