    Siebel School alum Xudong Sun (CS Ph.D. '25) received the SIGOPS Dennis M. Ritchie Doctoral Dissertation Award Honorable Mention at the Symposium on Operating Systems Principles (SOSP) 2026. Sun, University of Toronto assistant professor, was advised by CS associate professor Tianyin Xu. The committee noted that Sun's dissertation, "stands out for connecting foundational reasoning about liveness and correctness to executable systems and substantial real-world bug discovery. Its combination of conceptual clarity, technical depth and practical impact strongly reflects the spirit of the Dennis M. Ritchie Award."
