    <Title>Anupam Joshi named 2025 AAAS Fellow</Title>

      <![CDATA[
          <div class="html-content"><p><a href="https://userpages.cs.umbc.edu/joshi/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><strong>Anupam Joshi</strong></a>, vice provost and chief AI officer for UMBC, has been named a 2025 Fellow for the <a href="https://www.aaas.org/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">American Association for the Advancement of Science</a> (AAAS). AAAS is one of the world’s largest general scientific societies and the publisher of the <em>Science</em> family of journals. </p>
          
          
          
          <p>Joshi is among nearly 500 scientists, engineers, and innovators who have been elected 2025 fellows for their scientifically and socially distinguished achievements throughout their careers. </p>
          
          
          
          <p>Joshi is a pioneer in data management and security for mobile and ad-hoc networks using AI approaches. His research interests are at the intersection of AI and systems. Over the last decade, Joshi has explored this intersection to improve cybersecurity—using distributed AI approaches for attack detection and resilience in CPS/IoT systems that undergird critical infrastructure and policy-driven approaches to security and privacy.</p>
          
          
          
          <p>In addition to serving as vice provost and chief AI officer, Joshi is the Oros Family Professor and director of the <a href="https://cybersecurity.umbc.edu/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">UMBC Cybersecurity Institute</a>. A prolific scholar, Joshi obtained a B.Tech degree from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi in 1989, and a master’s and Ph.D. from Purdue University in 1991 and 1993. </p>
          
          
          
          <p>A tradition dating back to 1874, election as a AAAS Fellow is a lifetime honor, and all fellows are expected to maintain the highest standards of professional ethics and scientific integrity. Joshi is the ninth fellow to be elected from UMBC throughout its history. <strong><a href="https://biology.umbc.edu/directory/faculty/person/ra08807/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Phyllis Robinson</a></strong> was the most recent UMBC fellow elected in 2024. </p>
          
          
          
          <p>“This year’s AAAS Fellows have demonstrated research excellence, made notable contributions to advance science, and delivered important services to their communities,” said Sudip S. Parikh, AAAS chief executive officer and executive publisher of the <em>Science</em> family of journals. “These fellows and their accomplishments validate the importance of investing in science and technology for the benefit of all.”</p></div>
