 Peter
Brusilovsky, Associate Professor in SIS, is the recipient
of the E.T.S. Walton Visitor Award sponsored by the
Science Foundation Ireland. This prestigious
program supports “highly qualified academic researchers
(from outside Ireland) to carry out research projects
of their own choice in Ireland.” Dr. Brusilovsky
was awarded the three-month fellowship in May 2006
and will be hosted by the National College of Ireland
and Trinity College, both in Dublin.
This
award will allow him to work over the summer on his
research project, "Adaptive Systems for Web-Based
Education: Architectures and Evaluation." In
addition, Brusilovsky will serve as the director of
a summer program on personalized E-learning.
The E.T.S. Walton Visitors Award was created to honor
the legacy of E.T.S. Walton, Ireland’s 1951 Nobel
Laureate in Physics. The program, which annually
supports 5-6 researchers, brings international investigators
from academia and industry to Ireland to strengthen
the country’s connections to the research community. Brusilovsky,
honored to be a part of this remarkable group of researchers,
has also been the recipient of the James S. McDowell
Fellowship (US), the Alexander von Humboldt Fellowship
(Germany), and the Royal Society Ex-Quota Fellowship
(UK). Dr. Brusilovsky will return from Ireland
in September.
