Marilyn Wolf, the Elmer E. Koch Professor of Engineering at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, recently received the 2025 Marie R. Pistilli Women in Electronic Design Award at the Design Automation Conference, an event sponsored by the Association for Computing Machinery and the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers. Presented annually, the Pistilli Award recognizes individuals who have visibly helped to advance women in electronic design.
Dr. Wolf joined the University of Nebraska-Lincoln faculty in 2019 as chair of the department of computer science and engineering. She was named founding director of the School of Computing in 2021 and director for engineering and technology initiatives in the Office for Research and Innovation in 2023. As an engineer, she explores cyber-physical systems, the Internet-of-Things, embedded computer vision, and very large-scale integration systems.
Before her current institution, Dr. Wolf spent over a decade as the Farmer Distinguished Chair in Embedded Computing Systems and a Georgia Research Alliance Eminent Scholar at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Earlier, she taught at Princeton University for nearly two decades.
Dr. Wolf received her bachelor’s degree, a master’s degree, and a doctorate all in electrical engineering from Stanford University in California.
