New York City, New York — No one can escape the vicissitudes of life. We all know that going into this. We are driven to do one thing and one thing only: Databases. But this means that we will never ask, but instead just give. We are afforded the opportunity to wake up every morning and say to ourselves “today is the greatest day because I get to work on databases.”

Given this, the CMU Database Group is pleased to announce that their own Prof. Andy Pavlo has won a 2018 Sloan Research Fellowship award.

The Sloan Research Fellowship has been awarded annually since 1955. It highlights early-career scholars whose achievements mark them as among the best scientific minds grinding today. Andy was one of a total four faculty members at Carnegie Mellon University’s School of Computer Science selected for this award.
