The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers has chosen UNL's Hong Jiang, the Willa Cather Professor of Computer Science and Engineering, to be named an IEEE Fellow.
Jiang is being recognized for contributions to computer memory hierarchy and storage systems. His contributions in the storage systems in particular, with innovative and effective mechanisms for data reduction and filtering, have direct impact on addressing some of the challenges presented by Big Data, a phenomenon where everyday 2.5 quintillion (2.5x1018, or 2.5 million trillion) bytes of digital data are created and data produced in the last two years alone amount to 90% of the data in the world today.
He has been on the Computer Science and Engineering faculty since 1991 and directs the Abacus Distributed Storage Lab (ADSL).
His contributions cited by IEEE are a result of research conducted in ADSL at UNL and international collaborations with colleagues in China and Canada. He is currently on leave from UNL, serving as a Program Director at the National Science Foundation.
