Hagit_Attiya Knowpia

Hagit Attiya is an Israeli computer scientist who holds the Harry W. Labov and Charlotte Ullman Labov Academic Chair of Computer Science at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa, Israel.^[1]^[2] Her research is in the area of distributed computing.

Education and career edit

Attiya was educated at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, earning a B.S. in mathematics and computer science in 1981, a master's degree from the same university in 1983, and a doctorate in 1987, under the supervision of Danny Dolev.^[2] After postdoctoral studies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, she joined the Technion faculty in 1990.^[2]

She has been the editor-in-chief of the journal Distributed Computing since 2008.^[2]^[3]

Awards and honors edit

Attiya became a fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery in 2009 for "contributions to distributed and parallel computing".^[4]

In 2011, Attiya and her co-authors Danny Dolev and Amotz Bar-Noy won the Edsger W. Dijkstra Prize in Distributed Computing for their work on implementing shared memory using message passing, published in the Journal of the ACM in 1995.^[5] She was also the recipient of the Michael Bruno Memorial Award from Yad Hanadiv in 2011.^[6]
