Emre Dincturk named the IBM-CAS Student of the Year

November 25, 2011

PhD student Emre Dincturk was named the 2011 CAS Student of the Year by IBM-CAS Canada at CASCON 2011 in Toronto.

This award recognizes individuals who best epitomize the mission statement of IBM-CAS:

• Facilitate the exchange of academic research knowledge and real world industry challenges
• Help identify IBM as employer of choice for students who are creating the technology of the future.
• Build and foster relationships among researchers, funding agencies, IBM, and customers.
• Expose IBM developers to current research directions, and identify new and emerging technology issues for academic research

This award specifically recognizes Emre’s work with IBM on the project “Modeling Rich Internet Applications for Security”. Last year, researchers from the School of EECS took home the honor of “2010 Project of the Year” for this body of research. The ambitious goal of this work is to make the “new” Web usable, crawl able, searchable and secure.

Emre’s work was selected because in addition to outstanding theoretical research, he made sure his results were understood and applicable.

Since January 2010, Emre has been working on a project with IBM and with his supervisor, Guy-Vincent Jourdan. He has also been working with Dr. Gregor Bochamnn, as well as with IBM’s Vio Onut on this project.

Emre spent a two month work term at the IBM lab in the summer of 2011. He was a key resource in updating a prototype of Rational Appscan Enterprise and Rational Policy Tester to include the research team’s latest algorithms.
