Beginning his career at Georgia Tech in 1968, Chiaraviglio helped shape computing at the Institute, and helped lay the groundwork for what would become the College of Computing.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAlong the way, Chiaraviglio touched many lives and influenced countless careers. Some of the memories shared by his former students and colleagues this week are below.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EFounding Dean and Professor Emeritus Peter Freeman\u003C\/strong\u003E\u0026nbsp;- \u201cLucio was a living testimonial to the classical concept of a university as a community of intelligent, broad, and caring scholars who respect and communicate frequently with each other. His impact on several generations of students and young faculty at Georgia Tech starting in 1968 and extending to his retirement in 1992 will long outlast direct memory of him in the successes of those he guided toward impactful careers, a number of whom have been and continue to be leaders in the College of Computing.\u201d\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ECharlotte B. and Roger C. Warren Chair of Computing Rich DeMillo -\u003C\/strong\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u201cI was one of Lucio\u2019s first students and I watched carefully how he simultaneously embraced and challenged his PhD students. He was very formal but was also a warm presence in the lives of his students.\u0026nbsp; Regarding his formal nature, his lectures in logic and set theory were often carried out in a completely formal way and with a minimum of English intruding into the presentation. He would usually fill several blackboard panels with formulas from formal logic. He wrote out his lectures longhand and passed them out to students at the start of class. I still have faded copies. Many of us loved it, but as you might imagine most of the class was looking for something a little less intimidating.\u201d\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ECollege of Computing Professor Mustaque Ahamad -\u003C\/strong\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u201cI fondly remember the interesting lunch time conversations Lucio used to \u2018lead\u2019 in the library cafeteria next to the Rich building. He looked great the last time I saw him a few years ago. Indeed, he was great help to the newcomers and perhaps that is why many of us are now the \u2018old timers\u2019.\u201d\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ERegents\u0027 Professor Emeritus Janet Kolodner -\u003C\/strong\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u201cLucio was a really wonderful helper to me when I arrived. He spent a lot of time looking out for me and was the one who suggested I apply for money for our first and second Lisp machines. He also made sure I was introduced to all of the Jewish faculty on campus so I would feel comfortable in my new home in the south. I think he was serving as Ray\u2019s internal person, making sure the new faculty were well taken care of, but much of what he did was just because he was a really nice man who cared so much about us.\u201d\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EJohn Gehl, former Georgia Tech computer science senior research engineer\u003C\/strong\u003E\u0026nbsp;- \u201cIt was fun when Lucio put on his battle gear to lead his troops in one of those interminable faculty apocalyptic wars. I was amused and surprised when Lucio eventually became a fierce advocate for a hard-core computer science program that stuck to its knitting, and didn\u0027t dabble in other subjects, such as psychology. I say surprised because that wasn\u0027t the Lucio I had known: he was more of a polymath, interested in absolutely everything, not just computers. That\u0027s the point at which Lucio turned from the old Lucio to the new Lucio. A fascinating metamorphosis. But he was still, and always, good ol\u0027 Lucio. He was a great man, and \u2018those were the days, my friends.\u2019\u201d\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Faculty and Friends share their memories of Professor Chiaraviglio"}],"uid":"32045","created_gmt":"2016-08-05 11:58:59","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 03:22:16","author":"Ben Snedeker","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2016-08-05T00:00:00-04:00","iso_date":"2016-08-05T00:00:00-04:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"559771":{"id":"559771","type":"image","title":"New Lucio","body":null,"created":"1470415628","gmt_created":"2016-08-05 16:47:08","changed":"1475895364","gmt_changed":"2016-10-08 02:56:04","alt":"New Lucio","file":{"fid":"206759","name":"luciochiaraviglio_copy_2.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/luciochiaraviglio_copy_2.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/luciochiaraviglio_copy_2.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":24878,"path_740":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/luciochiaraviglio_copy_2.jpg?itok=2vOh7FQQ"}}},"media_ids":["559771"],"groups":[{"id":"47223","name":"College of Computing"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
