The Annual Research Lec­ture award is one of the high­est hon­ors that UNM bestows on a fac­ulty mem­ber. Selected by the UNM Research Pol­icy Com­mit­tee, and nom­i­nated by peers from across the United States and abroad, For­rest is noted for her excep­tional abil­i­ties and knowl­edge, out­stand­ing research efforts, cre­ativ­ity, lead­er­ship, and men­tor­ship to a num­ber of stu­dents and faculty.

For­rest came to UNM in 1990 and is acknowl­edged for trans­form­ing the Depart­ment of Com­puter Sci­ence into an inter­dis­ci­pli­nary and high-activity research depart­ment, as well as secur­ing UNM’s rep­u­ta­tion as a leader in the study of com­plex systems.
