Comment: Declined with the same reason as the previous reviewer. I see this as WP:TOOSOON, and may not pass WP:AFD. Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 05:45, 28 September 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: As the nominator, please do not use the comments to voice your opinions --those sections are for reviewers. For reference, none of the awards you mention are notable. Ldm1954 (talk) 22:28, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: I beg to differ. A good point of comparison is Andy Pavlo, an associate professor at Carnegie Mellon who works in the same field (data management) as Cheung. While Pavlo's papers have more citations than Cheung's, their h-index and i10-index are similar. Besides that, Cheung has arguably a stronger recognition record than Pavlo (one of the notability criteria for academics): both are recipients of the Sloan fellowship and NSF Career Award, but on top of that Cheung is also a recipient of the PECASE Award, the IEEE TCDE rising star award, and the VLDB Early Career Contributions Award. All of these are international recognitions, not grants. So if Pavlo is wiki-notable, then Cheung should be as well. Landau671 (talk) 01:03, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: It is very rare for an associate prof to be considered notable on Wikipedia. While he is off to a good start, he needs a significantly stronger publication record plus national awards (not grants. It will be some years, please don't push too hard. Ldm1954 (talk) 11:09, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

Alvin Cheung is an American computer scientist, who is currently an associate professor in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences department at University of California, Berkeley.
Education
[edit]Cheung received his undergraduate degree from Stanford University.[1] and his PhD in computer science from MIT under Samuel Madden and Armando Solar-Lezama.
Work
[edit]Cheung joined the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering at the University of Washington as an assistant professor after receiving his PhD. He moved to the University of California, Berkeley in 2019 where he is currently an associate professor in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences department.
Cheung's group works on various research problems that span across data management to programming languages. In data management, his group developed the Cosette, the first fully automated solver that decides the equivalence of SQL queries,[2] along with various data management systems for video data: LightDB,[3] the Visual Road video processing benchmark,[4] and Spatialyze.[5]
In programming languages, Cheung's group is known for verified lifting,[6] a technique that uses program synthesis rather than traditional pattern matching-based rules to compile code. His group has also developed program synthesis-based algorithms to help end users write code using natural language and examples.[7][8][9]
Cheung also teaches a popular undergraduate database class with Joseph Hellerstein at UC Berkeley.[10]
Awards and Recognitions
[edit]Cheung's research group has received a number of best paper awards. Cheung himself is a recipient of the Sloan Research Fellowship in 2019,[11] early career awards from the United States Department of Energy,[12] the National Science Foundation,[13] and the Office of Naval Research.[14]
In addition, Cheung is also a recipient of the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers for his research on code transformations.[15] He has also received the Very Large Databases Endowment's Early Career Research Contribution Award [16] and the IEEE Technical Committee on Data Engineering Rising Star Award [17] for his data management work.
