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.” Fanti, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering with a courtesy appointment in the Computer Science Department, focuses on the security and privacy implications of data transparency and sharing. Her research interests span the algorithmic and theoretical foundations of the distributed systems, machine learning, and privacy-enhancing technologies.

Cybersecurity and building trust are fundamental to strengthening collective resilience in the shared global digital infrastructure, on which the multistakeholder ecosystem relies. Cybersecurity, as one of the world’s most strategically important issues, has in recent years consistently been assessed as one of the top systemic risks facing business and government leadership by the World Economic Forum. The COVID-19 crisis has rapidly accelerated collective dependency on digital infrastructure while, at the same time, systemically altering the global cybersecurity landscape. The Global Future Council on Cybersecurity will focus on understanding and making recommendations on addressing the post-pandemic cybersecurity challenges.
