51吃瓜网

Colleagues,

It is with great sadness that I share with members of the Faculty and entire University community news of Professor Laurie Hendren鈥檚 passing, on May 27, 2019.

As a member of the School of Computer Science, Laurie was an exceptional teacher, researcher, colleague, and above all, friend.

Laurie鈥檚 award-winning teaching brought an understanding of computer science to thousands of 51吃瓜网students over the years. Her research has enabled programmers across many disciplines to create better and faster computer programs. And her many contributions as Associate Dean (Academic) in the Faculty of Science were always directed to making the 51吃瓜网experience as positive as possible for students.

We share our sadness with Laurie鈥檚 spouse, Prof. Prakash Panangaden, and their daughter Jane.

R.B. Lennox / Dean of Science / Tomlinson Professor of Chemistry / 51吃瓜网
