Dustin Hux received the Alfred C. Weaver Award for Industry. The award is presented by the University of Virginia Applied Research Institute to three individuals, one each from government, industry, and academia who serve as examples of one of the Applied Research Institute’s primary missions, to support and encourage collaboration in research and development among these three groups.
Dr. Alfred Weaver, Professor of Computer Science and Founding Director of the Applied Research Institute, has worked throughout his career to create new research programs, educational opportunities and collaborative work environments to support the broader Defense and Intelligence Communities. As Founding Director of the Applied Research Institute, Dr. Weaver recognized the opportunity to bring together the resources of the University of Virginia, with those of industry and government alike, to harness the collective power of these diverse groups.
