Grace Series Fall'24 - Dr Emily Fox - Keep Asking Questions.....

Fall'24 Grace Series Presents its 47th speaker UT Dallas CS Associate Professor Dr. Emily Fox and her talk titled 'Keep Asking Questions: Reflections On My Professional And Personal Journey Over The Last Decade" In this talk, Dr.Emily Fox shares a glimpse into both the professional and personal journeys she has recently navigated. During her talk, she dived into her research on optimal transport and transshipment problems, while also reflecting on her evolving journey of embracing my identity as a woman in computing. Throughout, she explored how the simple act of questioning—whether about what’s possible or what’s true—has been a catalyst for breakthroughs and growth. She also highlighted moments when not challenging assumptions and preconceived notions led to unexpected roadblocks and slowed progress. Dr. Emily Fox is an Associate Professor of Computer Science at the University of Texas at Dallas, where she brings a passion for both research and teaching to life. Specializing in computational geometry and topology, her work dives deep into algorithm design—particularly in shape matching and developing algorithms for graphs with complex topological structures. A recipient of the prestigious NSF CAREER Award, Emily has also been recognized for her dedication to students, earning the Best Teacher in Computer Science Award from UTD’s Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science. She completed her Ph.D. at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and broadened her expertise through postdoctoral research at Brown University’s Institute for Computational and Experimental Research in Mathematics and at Duke University.
