CS faculty member Liliana Florea receives prestigious Sloan Research FellowshipThe Department of Computer Science is very proud of Assistant Professor Liliana Florea, who has been awarded a Sloan Research Fellowship for the year 2006.The purpose of the Sloan Fellowship is to "stimulate fundamental research by early-career scientists and scholars of outstanding promise". It is highly selective - only 116 winners are chosen annually, in the fields of chemistry, computational and evolutionary molecular biology, computer science, economics, mathematics, neuroscience, and physics; 32 Sloan winners have gone on to become Nobel Laureates. Prof. Florea has been at George Washington since Spring 2005. Before GW, she worked for Celera Genomics/Applera Corporation, where she contributed to the sequencing of the human genome[1]. Her current areas of interest include the development of algorithms and tools for cDNA and genomic sequence alignment, comparative genomics, gene annotation, alternative splicing and its regulation, miRNA genomics, and peptide-based vaccine design.
