Anne Elizabeth Condon,

Computer Science Department of the University of British Columbia.[1] Her research focuses on computational complexity theory, DNA computing, and bioinformatics.[2][3] She has also held the NSERC/General Motors Canada Chair for Women in Science and Engineering (CWSE) from 2004 to 2009, and has worked to improve the success of women in the sciences and engineering.[4]

Biography

Condon did her undergraduate studies at University College Cork, earning a bachelor's degree in 1982.[2][3] She moved to the University of Washington for her graduate studies, receiving her doctorate in 1987 under the supervision of Richard E. Ladner.[2][3][5] She then joined the faculty at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, and remained there until her 1999 move to UBC.[3]

Personal life

Condon is an avid triathlete, finishing 7th in her age-group (F55-59) during Ironman Canada 2019 and finishing 1st in her age group (F60-64) for Ironman Ireland 2022 in an impressive 12:10 hours timeframe. At the Ironman Hawaii 2022 she finished 18th in her age group (F60-64) with a time of 13:39. At the Ironman 70.3 Championship 2022, she finished 8th in her age group with a time of 5:55.

Awards and honors

Condon won an ACM Distinguished Dissertation award (honorable mention) for her thesis research.[6] In 2010, the Association for Computing Machinery named her an ACM Fellow for contributions to complexity theory and leadership in advancing women in computing.[7] In the same year, she also won the A. Nico Habermann Award of the Computing Research Association for "long-standing and impactful service toward the goal of increasing the participation of women in computer science research."[4][8][9] She is also a winner of the University College Cork Distinguished Alumna Award,[10] the University of Washington CSE Alumni Achievement Award.,[8] and the 2012 University of Washington College of Engineering Diamond Award for Distinguished Achievement in Academia.[11] She was the 2014 winner of the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing Technical Leadership ABIE Award[12]

Condon was elected a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada in 2012.[13]
