You can read the complete citation (which is very big to paste here) at the SIGPLAN website: www.sigplan.org/Awards/Milner/!
An excerpt from the award citation: Her work is distinguished by extraordinary technical depth, breadth, and originality. She has repeatedly anticipated emerging trends, notably pioneering the integration of machine learning with formal methods.
Last but not least, the SIGPLAN Robin Milner Young Researcher Award was also announced at PLDI. This year, the award went to Işıl Dillig ( @idillig.bsky.social ), whose research has had profound and far-reaching contributions to program analysis, verification, and synthesis ⭐️
You can read the full citation for the award here: www.sigplan.org/Awards/Softw..., and find more info about Lean here: lean-lang.org!
Another award that is announced at PLDI is the SIGPLAN Programming Languages Software Award. This year, the award was received by the LEAN theorem prover, which has had and continues to have broad impact on mathematics, hardware and software verification, and AI!
