Individual Nomination

克莱姆森大学（Clemson University）教授胡安·吉尔伯特（Juan Gilbert）博士在过去十年中，以一己之力影响了整个学科中一个未被充分代表的群体的代表性。具体来说，从2006年到2009年，吉尔伯特博士指导了全国三分之一以上的非裔美国计算机科学博士毕业生。他通过个人指导，增加了积极参与STEM的非裔美国人的数量。他的指导模式现在正在传播，他的一些学员自己也成为了导师。这种滚雪球效应将继续扩大非裔美国人和其他代表性不足的群体对计算机的参与。Gilbert博士最近被美国国家黑人工程师协会（National Society of Black Engineers）评为年度先锋，也是美国国家科学院国家研究委员会（National Research Council of the National Academies）的国家助理。

Dr. Juan Gilbert, a professor at Clemson University, has single-handedly impacted the representation of an underrepresented group in an entire discipline within the past decade. Specifically, from 2006 to 2009, Dr. Gilbert mentored more than one-third of the nation's African American Ph.D. graduates in computer science. He has increased the number of African Americans actively engaged in STEM through personal mentoring. His mentoring model is spreading now that some of his mentees are becoming mentors themselves. This snowball effect will continue to broaden participation in computing among African Americans and other underrepresented groups. Dr. Gilbert was recently named the Pioneer of the Year by the National Society of Black Engineers and a National Associate of the National Research Council of the National Academies.
