"Keys to Life" with Prof. Weiss is a motivational discussion series designed to promote student success and well-being. This series is for students who want to develop their "keys" in a small group setting and a peaceful, reflective environment. Finding purpose is essential to living a meaningful life and key to personal fulfillment. This series will help students identify and articulate their purpose and provide group motivation to work towards it. A unique feature of the series will be its peripatetic "Purpose Walks" through campus.

Speaker: Dr. Ellis Horowitz, Professor of Computer Science and Electrical and Computer Engineering - USC
Talk Title: Turing Award Winners I Have Known and Their Impact on My Research
Series: Remarkable Trajectory Lecture Series
Abstract: I have been involved with computers for the past 62 years ever since I programmed an IBM 1620 while a junior in college. My journey has witnessed the development of the field of Computer Science and its recognition as a legitimate field of study, the growth of journals to publish the growing body of work in the field, the development of computer science departments and the awarding of degrees including Bachelors, Masters and Ph.D.s (including my own). In this talk I plan to highlight just some of the changes I have witnessed, by focusing on the Turing award winners I have known that have impacted my research. Though many more computer scientists have influenced my work, for this talk I will stick to the Turing award winners that I actually met personally and in some cases did joint work.
