Kelley Wins First Prize in ACM Student Research Competition
Patrick Kelley, a PhD student in the Computation, Organizations and Society program of the Institute for Software Research, won first place in the graduate category of the Association for Computing Machinery’s (ACM) Student Research Competition Grand Finals.
Kelley, who is co-advised by Lorrie Cranor and Norman Sadeh, won for his research on a “nutrition label” for online privacy – a standardized label that communicates a website’s privacy policies in a way that is as clear and as understandable as the nutrition labels on food packaging. Development of the privacy label concept is continuing in the CyLab Usable Privacy and Security Laboratory directed by Cranor.
Kelley received the first place award, which includes a total of $1,000 in prize money and a medal, at the ACM Awards Banquet in San Francisco on June 26. The Student Research Competition is sponsored by Microsoft Research.
Go, Patrick!!!
Patrick worked hard for this award, Patti. We’re glad he won.
Nice! Congratulations all around.
Thanks, Jeff.
Yay, Patrick!
I felt the same way, Bill.
Congratulations to your son–I know you and your wife must be so proud about his accomplishments.
And could you please identify the people in the picture. Thanks!

Crap. I put a c-note on Tvarozek to win it all. Oh well.
Anyway, congratulations to Patrick. As Deb said, you and Diane must be very proud.
Sorry you lost your c-note on Tvarozek, Drongo. But it’s wise to never bet against a Kelley. We have that “luck of the Irish” thing going for us.
The kid just keeps racking up awards! Does Microsoft have a talent draft board? I imagine PGK is in the top slot now. Congrats to you & Diane!
Patrick will be on a flight to a conference in London tomorrow, Art. Then, after the conference is over next week, Patrick will fly from London to Seattle for another conference. The kid is a Road Warrior!
The apple, as they say, don’t fall far from the tree…
Diane believes that raising kids right is the most important thing you can do, Dan. So far, so good.
I’m kinda behind on this, but congratulations to Patrick, and of course to his parents.
Patrick first entered the competition at a conference in Boston last year, Rick. Diane and I actually visited Boston at that time to see Patrick and Katie. Patrick won there and moved on to the semi-finals last Fall at a conference in Atlanta. He won there, and then went to the Finals last week in San Francisco. And Patrick won the Grand Prize. Diane and I are very proud of him.
Heck, I am very proud of him and I have never met him.
Thanks for the kind words, Patti. We’re as proud of Patrick as you and Phil are of Megan.
Not bad. Sounds like a useful idea, too. Congrats all around.
Patrick will be in your neighborhood next week, Bob. He’s presenting a paper at a conference in Seattle.
Nice work, Patrick!
It’s obvious that Patrick takes after Diane, Beth.
