The fellowships, awarded annually since 1955, honor early career scholars whose achievements put them among the very best scientific minds working today. Winners receive a two-year, $75,000 fellowship to further their research. “A Sloan Research Fellow is a rising star, plain and simple,” says Adam F. Falk, president of the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. “To receive a Fellowship is to be told by the scientific community that your achievements as a young scholar are already driving the research frontier.” Lucia, the Sathaye Family Foundation Career Development Associate Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, specializes in programming languages, software and hardware computer systems, and computer architecture. His lab is defining the area of intermittent computing on batteryless, energy-harvesting devices, as well as designing reliable, low-latency, high-throughput parallel cloud and edge computing systems.
