CRA proudly congratulates members of the computing research community who have recently been recognized as 2025 Fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), 2026 Members of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (AAA&S), and 2026 Fellows of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM).
