Qinru Qiu
Electrical engineering and computer science (EECS) Professor Qinru Qiu has been named a distinguished professor by the College of Engineering and Computer Science (ECS).
Qiu previously received the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) SIGDA Distinguished Service Award and the National Science Foundation (NSF) CAREER Award. She has also been a distinguished member of ACM since 2022 and was recognized as a fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) in 2023. Qiu also serves as the EECS graduate program director.
Her current research focuses on improving the energy efficiency of computing, from runtime power and thermal management of computer systems, and energy harvesting real-time embedded systems, to her recent works in brain-inspired hardware and software for neuromorphic computing.
“I am delighted to learn that Professor Qinru Qiu is being elevated to the rank of distinguished professor,” says EECS Distinguished Professor Pramod Varshney. “Qinru is widely known for her seminal work on energy-efficient computing as well as neuromorphic computing. Her contributions to scholarship, education, and service at Syracuse University are exemplary. She truly deserves this timely recognition.”
“I am very excited and truly honored to receive this special award,” says Qiu. “I want to thank my colleagues for their support and trust. This is a new start for me, and I will continue performing my best.”
