Ruzena Bajcsy (right), inaugural director of the Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society (CITRIS), was joined by (from left) Berkeley Chancellor Robert Birgeneau and Dean Richard Newton at a gala farewell to mark her departure from the directorship after more than three years.
UC President Robert Dynes and more than 100 well-wishers attended the festivities last June in Hearst Memorial Mining Building. Bajcsy’s leadership, speakers said, established the institute as an important UC platform for researchers in overlapping disciplines working on innovative technologies to address large-scale challenges in areas such as energy, security, and health care.

Bajcsy, an expert in machine perception, robotics, and artificial intelligence, will return to Berkeley’s EECS faculty. |
