Awards
In 2013, Katabi won the Grace Murray Hopper Award,[2] recognizing her as the outstanding young computer science professional.
In 2012, her work on Sparse Fourier Transforms was chosen as one of the top 10 breakthroughs of the year by Technology Review.[3]
In September 2013, Katabi was awarded a MacArthur "genius grant" for her work.[4] In 2013 she also became a fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery.[5]
In 2014, on the celebration of Project Mac's 50th anniversary, her work on X-ray vision was chosen as one the "50 ways that MIT has transformed computer science".[6]
