Career edit

Upon completing his education, Elbaum accepted a faculty position at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln where he co-founded two international recognized labs, the E2 Software Engineering Lab and the Nimbus Robotics Lab.[1] He received a $36,500 Google Faculty Research Award and National Science Foundation Award for his project "Solving the Search for Code with Inputs and Outputs" for one year.[2][3] The following year, he collaborated with Carrick Detweiler for their project "Co-Aerial Ecologist: Robotic Water Sampling and Sensing in the Wild" project as part of the National Robotics Initiative.[4] In 2015, Elbaum was appointed to the rank of Willa Cather/Charles Bessey Professorship.[5]

Elbaum eventually left the University of Nebraska–Lincoln in 2018 to accept a similar position at the University of Virginia. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Elbaum was elected a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers in "recognition of his contributions of testing techniques for evolving systems."[6] He was named to the 2022 class of ACM Fellows, "for contributions to the analysis and testing of evolving systems and robotic systems".[7]
