Cristian Challu's thesis nominated for the AAAI/ACM SIGAI Dissertation Award!

[Cristian Challu]

Thanks, Professor, for sharing this news with the lab and for your kind
words. It’s truly an honor to represent CMU in such a prestigious
competition.

This recognition wouldn’t have been possible without the collaborations
with the brilliant minds at the Auton Lab!

I look forward to visiting CMU soon to share our latest research and
connect with everyone.

Best,
Cristian
