Every two years, IEEE Intelligent Systems celebrates 10 rising stars in the field of artificial intelligence as "AI's 10 to Watch." The 2018 group includes Cynthia Matuszek, assistant professor of computer science and electrical engineering, who has been recognized for her work, which focuses on the intersection of robotics, natural language processing, machine learning, and the applications of human-robot interaction.

This recognition celebrates researchers who are early in their careers and have completed their doctoral work in the last five years. According to IEEE, Matuszek builds “robotic systems that nonspecialists can instruct, control, and interact with intuitively and naturally.”
