The National Science Foundation (NSF) selected an NYU Tandon School of Engineering professor who is spearheading a project to democratize big data modeling with novel algorithms to receive one of its most prestigious awards for promising young academics.
Christopher Musco, an assistant professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, received a 2021 NSF Faculty Early Career Development Award, more widely known as a CAREER Award, which supports early-stage faculty who have the potential to serve as academic role models in research and education. Musco, with fellow 2021 awardee Anna Choromanska, joins the over 50% of NYU Tandon’s junior faculty members who hold CAREER Awards or similar young-investigator honors.
