Gedas Adomavicius Honored with AIS Fellow Award

Information & Decision Sciences Professor Gedas Adomavicius has been honored for his achievements with an Association for Information Systems (AIS) Fellow Award.

Adomavicius, the Larson Endowed Chair for Excellence in Business Education at Minnesota Carlson, received the award at the AIS International Conference on Information Systems in Bangkok, Thailand, in December. The AIS Fellow Award annually recognizes a select group of individuals who have made significant global and local contributions to the field of information systems through research, teaching, and service. AIS is the leading professional organization for researchers studying information systems, with members in about 100 countries.

“I am very honored and humbled by this recognition of my work, and I share this with all my advisors, co-authors, and doctoral students with deepest gratitude,” Adomavicius says. “It has been a privilege to be part of the outstanding, intellectually vibrant, and collaborative environment of my department and Minnesota Carlson —it has made a tremendous impact on my career.”

Adomavicius’s research expertise includes personalization technologies and recommender systems, machine learning and data analytics, and online market mechanisms. He has served on the editorial boards of several leading academic journals, and, in 2017, he received the INFORMS Information Systems Society’s Distinguished Fellow Award. At Minnesota Carlson, Adomavicius teaches analytics-related courses and has served in various administrative roles, including as the chair of the Information and Decision Sciences Department.

The last Carlson faculty member to receive the AIS Fellow Award was Professor Ravi Bapna in 2023.
