Education
Widom earned a BS degree in trumpet performance from the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music in 1982 and a PhD in computer science under David Gries from Cornell University in 1987.[3][4]
Academic career
Widom began her career as a researcher at the IBM Almaden Research Center and joined Stanford University as a professor in 1993.[5] She was the chair of the Stanford computer science department from 2009 to 2014, and served as senior associate dean for faculty and academic affairs in the School of Engineering from 2014 to 2016.[6] In February 2017 she was named Dean of the School of Engineering.[7]
Widom is a fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) since 2005.[1] In 2015, she won the ACM-W Athena Lecturer Award, which honors prominent female computer scientists, for her work in the introduction of fundamental concepts and architectures of active database systems.[8] Widom is also a member of the National Academy of Engineering and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.[9][4][10]
Widom has co-authored four academic textbooks on database systems. These books focus on database design, use, and implementation of applications and management systems. The course materials have been utilized at the junior, senior, and graduate levels in the computer science department.
In late 2011, Widom launched one of the first
Personal life
