2024 ACM Fellows Honored for Contributions to Computing That Are Transforming Science and Society

Members Recognized for Work in Diverse Areas Including Cybersecurity, Artificial Intelligence, Human-Computer Interaction, Machine Learning, and Programming Languages

New York, NY, January 22, 2025 – ACM, the Association for Computing Machinery, has named 55 Fellows for transformative contributions to computing science and technology. All the 2024 inductees are longstanding ACM Members whose accomplishments were selected by their peers for making possible the computing technologies we use every day.

"Computing technology has had a tremendous impact in shaping how we live and work today,” said ACM President Yannis Ioannidis. “The ACM Fellows program honors the creativity and hard work of ACM members whose specific accomplishments drive innovation and make broader advances possible. In announcing a new class of Fellows each year, we celebrate the impact some of our community’s pioneers make and highlight the many technical areas of computing in which they work.”

In keeping with ACM’s global reach, the 2024 Fellows represent universities, corporations, and research centers in Australia, Canada, Chile, China, Denmark, Germany, India, Israel, Italy, the Netherlands, Singapore, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The contributions of the 2024 Fellows run the gamut of the computing field―including computer graphics, cybersecurity, human-computer interaction, data management, machine learning, artificial intelligence, algorithms, visualization, and many more.

ACM will formally recognize the 2024 Fellows at its annual Awards Banquet on June 14, 2025, in San Francisco, California. Additional information about the 2024 ACM Fellows, as well as previously named ACM Fellows, is available through the ACM Fellows website.
