Margaret Martonosi

Margaret Martonosi is the William M. Addy '82 University Professor of Computer Science at Princeton University, where she has been on the faculty since 1994. She earned a B.S. in Electrical Engineering with Distinction from Cornell University in 1986, an M.S. in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University in 1987, and a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University in 1994, with a dissertation titled "Analyzing and Tuning Memory Performance in Sequential and Parallel Programs." Her research specializes in computer architecture, with contributions to power-efficient systems, hardware-software interfaces, mobile computing, and both classical and quantum hardware and software systems. Martonosi has held prominent leadership positions, including Assistant Director for the National Science Foundation's Directorate for Computer and Information Science and Engineering from 2020 to 2023, where she managed a $1 billion annual budget and initiated programs such as 25 National AI Research Institutes, the ExpandAI program, and the National AI Research Resource Pilot. She also directed Princeton University's Keller Center for Innovation in Engineering Education from 2017 to 2020, served as a Jefferson Science Fellow at the U.S. Department of State from 2015 to 2016, and was Associate Dean for Academic Affairs in Princeton's School of Engineering and Applied Science from 2005 to 2007.

Martonosi is an elected member of the National Academy of Engineering and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, a Fellow of IEEE and ACM, and recipient of the 2021 ACM/IEEE Eckert-Mauchly Award for contributions to the design, modeling, and verification of power-efficient computer architecture, computer architecture's highest honor. She received the ACM Frances E. Allen Award for Outstanding Mentoring, the 2018 IEEE Computer Society Technical Achievement Award, the 2010 Princeton University Graduate Mentoring Award, and the 2019 ACM SIGARCH Alan D. Berenbaum Distinguished Service Award. Her key publications include "Wattch: A Framework for Architectural-Level Power Analysis and Optimizations" (2000), "Energy-Efficient Computing for Wildlife Tracking: Design Tradeoffs and Early Experiences with ZebraNet" (2002), and "Dynamic Thermal Management for High-Performance Microprocessors" (2001), many of which have earned long-term impact awards such as ISCA, ASPLOS, and HPCA Test-of-Time recognitions. Martonosi co-founded the ACM CARES movement for broadening participation in computing and has served on boards including the National Center for Women and Information Technology and DARPA ISAT Study Group.
