In addition, while on leave from Princeton, Martonosi recently served a 4-year rotation leading the National Science Foundation’s Directorate for Computer and Information Science and Engineering. NSF is the primary source of federal research funding for computing, and Martonosi’s role there was to lead budget and operational strategy in stewarding this funding for the community. Through her work at NSF, at Princeton, and through other non-profit boards, she has demonstrated leadership both technically and in broadening participation in computing and related fields.

Martonosi is an elected member of the US National Academy of Engineering and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. In 2021, she received computer architecture’s highest honor, the ACM/IEEE Eckert-Mauchly Award, for contributions to the design, modeling, and verification of power-efficient computer architecture. She is a Fellow of IEEE and ACM. Her papers have received numerous long-term impact awards in the SIGARCH, SIGMOBILE, and other communities. She received the 2023 ACM Frances E. Allen Award for Outstanding Mentoring, for her impacts on computer architecture and the broader computing community.Other notable awards include the 2018 IEEE Computer Society Technical Achievement Award, 2010 Princeton University Graduate Mentoring Award, and the 2019 ACM SIGARCH Alan D. Berenbaum Distinguished Service Award. Her work with others to co-found the ACM CARES movement was recognized by the Computing Research Association’s 2020 Distinguished Service Award.
