2013 AWIS Chicago Awards Dinner


Featured Awardees:

7th Innovator Award - Dr. Barbara Di Eugenio, of the University of Illinois
Chicago, for demonstrating innovative approaches in computational models of
Natural Language Processing. Her work is applied to various interactive
applications in education technology and human-robot interactions, where
users can hold a natural conversation with a computer.

2nd Motivator Award - Dr. Lily Rin-Laures, of Marshall, Gerstein & Borun,
LLP, for her work in initiating a new chapter of Women in Bio in Chicago
(WIB), for which she was President until 2012. She is also active in
Girls4Science (a nonprofit dedicated to exposing girls aged 10-18 to STEM)
and Coalition for Women's Initiatives in Law Firms. She has also served as
a mentor for Menttium, a cross-company mentoring program for female
leaders.

Our annual awards dinner will include short talks by our distinguished
awardees about their work, career paths, and insights on women in science,
as well as well-deserved recognition of our "Scientists of the Month" that
we have featured in the past year. Of course, there will be plenty of time
for networking among attendees!
