Biography
Berger received her bachelor's degree from Brandeis University , and defended her Ph.D. thesis at MIT in 1990 under the direction of Silvio Mikali [1] [2] While still a student, she received the Machtey Award in 1989 for an article on parallel algorithms that she published with a fellow student John Rompuy at a symposium on the basics of computer science. She remained at MIT for postdoctoral studies and became a teacher there in 1992 [1] .
In 2003, Berger became the fello computer science association [3] , and in 2012 - a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB) [4] [5] . As of January 2015, Berger serves as vice president of ISCB. [6] In 2016, Berger was introduced to the college by employees of the American Institute of Medical and Biological Engineering. [7]
