Awards

Congratulations to the authors of this year’s award-winning papers! The awards committee selected six papers to receive a Best Paper award and twelve papers to receive an Honorable Mention. The committee, chaired by Anne Roudaut, consisted of fifteen volunteer Associate Chairs, and each shortlisted paper received three additional independent assessments. Selection considered originality, research rigor, supporting evidence, clarity, and potential impact. See the full program for when each paper is presented.

The Lasting Impact Award and the winners of the Student Innovation Contest will be announced at the conference.
