Jennifer Tour Chayes is the University of California, Berkeley Associate Provost for the Division of Computing, Data Science, and Society and Dean of the School of Information. She was formerly a Technical Fellow and Managing Director of Microsoft Research New England in Cambridge, Massachusetts, which she founded in 2008, and Microsoft Research New York City, which she founded in 2012.[1]

Chayes is best known for her work on phase transitions in discrete mathematics and computer science, structural and dynamical properties of self-engineered networks, and algorithmic game theory. She is considered one of the world's experts in the modeling and analysis of dynamically growing graphs.[2]

Chayes joined Microsoft Research in 1997, when she co-founded the Theory Group. She received her Ph.D. in mathematical physics at Princeton University in 1983. She is Affiliate Professor of Mathematics and Physics at the University of Washington, and was for many years Professor of Mathematics at UCLA. She is an author on almost 120 scientific papers and the inventor on more than 25 patents.

Early life and education

Chayes was born in New York City[1] and grew up in White Plains, New York, the child of Iranian immigrants. She received her B.A. in Biology and Physics from Wesleyan University in 1979 where she graduated first in her class. She received her Ph.D. in Mathematical Physics at Princeton University. She did her postdoctoral work in the Mathematics and Physics departments at Harvard and Cornell.

경력

그녀는 1987년에 종신 교수로 UCLA로 이사했다. 1997년 고등연구소에서 안식년을 보내고 있을 때, 프린스턴 출신의 체이스의 반 친구인 마이크로소프트 CTO 네이선 미어볼드는 그녀에게 마이크로소프트 리서치 레드몬드에서 이론 그룹을 시작하고 이끌 것을 요청했다.[3] 이론 그룹은 통계 물리학과 이산 수학의 기법을 사용하여 이론 컴퓨터 과학의 근본적인 문제를 분석한다. Chayes는 2008년 7월 Borgs와 함께 Microsoft Research New England를 열었다. 이 연구소는 마이크로소프트 뉴잉글랜드 연구 개발 센터에 위치해 있으며 핵심 컴퓨터 과학자와 사회과학자가 함께 모여 미래 컴퓨팅과 온라인 경험을 이해하고, 모델링하고, 가능하게 하는 새로운 학제 간 연구 영역을 추구하고 있다.[2] 2012년 5월 3일 뉴욕타임스는 "마이크로소프트가 뉴욕에 연구소를 개설하고 있다"고 보도했는데, 이 연구소는 셰이스가 공동 관리하게 된다.[4][5] 이 새로운 연구소는 또한 컴퓨터 과학자들과 사회 과학자들, 특히 경제, 컴퓨터 및 행동 사회 과학, 그리고 기계 학습 분야에서 함께 한다.

UC 버클리에 입사하기 전, Chayes는 Microsoft Research New England와 Microsoft Research New York City의 상무이사였다. 그녀는 다양한 네트워크의 구조와 행동을 분석하는 방법, 경매 알고리즘의 설계, 온라인 세계를 위한 다양한 비즈니스 모델의 설계와 분석에 기여했다. 그녀는 또한 2016년부터 2018년까지 인포시스상 수학적 과학 배심원단에서 일했다.

소속

체이스는 컴퓨터기계협회 튜링상 선정위원회, 수리과학연구소 수탁자위원회, 수학계산실험연구소 등 수많은 연구소 이사회, 자문위원회, 편집위원에서 활동하고 있다.이산수학과 컴퓨터 과학 센터, 하워드 휴즈의학 연구소 자넬리아 농장 연구 캠퍼스, 과학기술 여성 기업가들. 체이스는 과거 미국과학진흥협회 수학부 회장, 과거 미국수학협회 부회장이다. 그녀는 국립과학재단 박사후 펠로우십, 슬론 펠로우십, UCLA 우수 교수상의 수상자다.[6][7][8][9]

Chayes is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the Fields Institute, the Association for Computing Machinery, and the American Mathematical Society, as well as a National Associate of the National Academies. The Association for Women in Mathematics has included her in the 2020 class of AWM Fellows for "pioneering the way for women in the mathematical sciences to have leading technical roles in the high-tech industry; for extraordinary leadership and mentoring on behalf of women in the mathematical sciences".[10] She has been the recipient of many leadership awards, including one of the 2012 Anita Borg Institute Women of Vision Awards. In 2019 she was elected to the National Academy of Sciences.[11]

Chayes is featured in the Notable Women in Computing cards.[12]

Awards and honors

Personal life

Chayes married Christian Borgs in 1993 and was previously married to Lincoln Chayes whom she met at Wesleyan.
