Today, the White House awarded the 2016 Presidential Award for Extraordinary Efforts to Combat Trafficking in Persons to Microsoft principal researcher Dr. Christopher White. He was awarded for his development of Memex, a suite of Internet tools to help local law enforcement agencies extract and visualize information about illicit activities, including human trafficking.
