Congratulations to NYU Tandon CUEE Professor Eugene Vinitsky on receiving this year’s New York University Goddard Award for the 2026-2027 academic year!
This award recognizes tenure-track faculty who have successfully completed their third year review, supporting their continued research and scholarship. This is his second recognition of the year, having won the NYU Tandon School of Engineering Junior Faculty Research Award this fall.
Read an Ars Technica article discussing his recent work done in tandem with colleagues from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Stanford University, and Carnegie Mellon University.
The article details their work on Ataraxos, an AI they built that beat four-time Stratego world champion Pim Niemeijer 15 games to one, with four draws.
We look forward to seeing where his research takes him next!
