Computer Science Students Honored with Provost’s Academic Excellence Award
Andrew DiBiasio, a computer science major in Georgia Tech’s College of Computing, has been named one of the 2025 recipients of the Provost’s Academic Excellence Award. The award recognizes outstanding academic achievement across Georgia Tech’s six colleges and honors finalists for the Love Family Foundation Award.
A dedicated teaching assistant for CS 1332 (Data Structures and Algorithms), DiBiasio is passionate about mentoring fellow students and applying computing to solve real-world problems. He developed a tool to track room utilization on campus, helping address enrollment challenges.
DiBiasio plans to continue his studies at Georgia Tech, pursuing a Master of Science in Computer Science with a specialization in Machine Learning.
“I’m deeply honored to receive this award and want to express my gratitude to my family and friends for their support, and the faculty and staff of Georgia Tech’s College of Computing for their guidance throughout this incredible four-year journey,” DiBiasio said.
“A special thank you to Dr. Mary Hudachek-Buswell for her exceptional support, as this recognition wouldn’t have been possible without her. Lastly, I'd like to thank Dr. Offerson, who has served as a role model throughout my time at Tech, for motivating me to always put my best foot forward.”
The Provost’s Academic Excellence Award recognizes the remaining finalists of the Love Family Foundation Award. Each recipient is a graduating senior and represents the most outstanding scholastic record from their college. Finalists are recognized at the annual student honors celebration and receive a $2,000 award sponsored by the Love Family Foundation.
Among the other recipients is Alexander Divoux, a mathematics and computer science student in the College of Sciences.
Divoux has conducted research in combinatorics and plans to continue in the field through a Ph.D. in mathematics at Princeton University. Fluent in Chinese and actively studying Japanese, he is also involved with the Japan Student Association.
“I am deeply honored to have received this award, and am incredibly grateful to my family, friends, and mentors for their continuous support,” Divoux said.
“Throughout my time at Georgia Tech, I have been shaped by the outstanding guidance generously offered by this amazing community. A special thanks to Dr. Tom Kelly and Dr. Xingxing Yu for nurturing my curiosity and growth in mathematics.”
