Biography:Mary K. Vernon
Mary Katherine Vernon (born 1953) is an American computer scientist who works as a professor of computer science and industrial engineering at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Her research concerns high-performance computer architecture and streaming media.[1]
Vernon graduated from the University of California, Los Angeles in 1975 with a B.S. in chemistry,[2] and earned her Ph.D. in computer science from UCLA in 1983 under the supervision of Gerald Estrin.[3] She was named a Fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery in 1996 "for fundamental contributions to performance analysis of parallel computer architectures and for leadership in the computing research community."[4] In 2019, she won the ACM SIGMETRICS Achievement award for "contributions to analytic performance modeling techniques and to analytic design of a wide range of impactful computer and communication system architectures."[5]
