Biography:Liuba Shrira
Liuba Shrira is a professor of computer science at Brandeis University, whose research interests primarily involve distributed systems.[1] Shrira is accredited with having coined the phrase "promise" when referring to the completion (or failure) of an asynchronous operation and its resulting value for the JavaScript programming language[2]
Shrira received her PhD from Technion.[1] She is affiliated with the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. Previously, she was a researcher in the MIT Programming Methodology Group (1986–1997), a visiting researcher at Microsoft Research (2004–2005),[1] and a visiting professor at Technion (2010–2011).[3]
She is a member of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), which has recognized her as a Distinguished Scientist in 2009, and the IEEE Computer Society.[1]
Shrira was one of the founding members of the Systers mailing list for women in computing.[4]
