I just got around to the JuliaHub newletter for the last week, and learnt that:
Alan Edelman, JuliaHub Co-Founder, Julia Co-Creator and Principal Investigator of the JuliaLab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has been recognized as a 2024 Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
MIT Press mentions his part in the development of Julia in particular as a reason for the recognition:
Alan Edelman PhD ’89 is an applied mathematics professor for the Department of Mathematics and leads the Applied Computing Group of the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, the MIT Julia Lab. He is recognized as a 2024 AAAS fellow for distinguished contributions and outstanding breakthroughs in high-performance computing, linear algebra, random matrix theory, computational science, and in particular for the development of the Julia programming language. Edelman has been elected a fellow of five different societies — AMS, the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, the Association for Computing Machinery, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, and AAAS.
