Professor Krste Asanović, the former director of architecture research, has received the 2014 Diane S. McEntyre Award for Excellence in Teaching from UC Berkeley's Computer Science Division. The award, given annually to a member of the computer science faculty, recognizes commitment to and respect for students. Asanović received his PhD from UC Berkeley in 1998 while working as a student in the Realization Group (what is now the Speech Group) and founded the Architecture Group ten years later. In addition to being a UC Berkeley professor, he is the director of the new ASPIRE lab and holds a joint appointment at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Past winners of the McEntyre Award include Vern Paxson, director of networking and security research, and Christos Papadimitriou, an ICSI faculty associate in the research initiatives group.
