The Speaker
Having served for more than two decades as a professor of computer science and of electrical engineering, her instructional odyssey is to “offer free in-person short-courses and workshops worldwide”. She not only taught in Stanford’s MOOCs, but also spent her 2016-2017 sabbatical year traveling the world to teach various computer science concepts in developing countries, including Colombia, Bhutan, Indonesia, Vietnam, Chile, Peru and Mexico.
Prof. Widom is a distinguished researcher in data and information management. We often utilize her course materials in our Advanced Database Systems classes for our undergraduate BS in Computer Science degree program. Her research in big data has started even before the term has gained grounds in the global computing research and industry arena.

De La Salle University is a Roman Catholic, Lasallian research university in Taft Avenue, Malate, Manila, Philippines. It was founded in 1911 by De La Salle Brothers as the De La Salle College in Paco, Manila with Blimond Pierre serving as its first director. The educational institution moved on September 1921 to its present location to facilitate the increase in enrollment. DLSU, granted university status in February 1975, is the oldest constituent of De La Salle Philippines (DLSP), a network of 17 Lasallian institutions established in 2006 to replace the De La Salle University System.
