Three CSE papers chosen as IEEE Micro Top Picks Three papers authored by CSE researchers have been selected for IEEE Micro's Top Picks from the 2018 Computer Architecture Conferences. Top Picks is an annual special edition of IEEE Micro magazine that acknowledges the 10-12 most significant research papers from computer architecture conferences in the past year based on novelty and potential for long-term impact. NDSEG Fellowship for overcoming Moores Law with innovative architecture CSE PhD student Charles Eckert is working to expand the role of memory and give it a dual responsibility to both store and compute data. Working with Prof. Reetuparna Das, Eckert was a Department of Defense NDSEG Fellowship for his research, which focuses on how to accelerate Artificial Intelligence (AI) using in-memory computing. [Full Story] Sloan Fellowship for overcoming Moores Law in health and AI Prof. Reetuparna Das has been selected for a 2019 Sloan Research Fellowship by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation for her work in developing novel hardware architectures. Das develops new architectures that improve performance by orders of magnitude through the more efficient use of available transistors. Her research focuses on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and precision health applications. [Full Story] Kickstarting the first year for women in computer science The third annual CS KickStart gave 22 incoming women in CS a hands-on look at the skills and careers on offer in the world of computing. CS KickStart is a free week-long summer program for incoming first-year students that aims to improve the enrollment and persistence of women in CS and give women a voice in shaping the future through technology. [Full Story] Faster, cheaper gene sequencing to make healthcare more precise Arun Subramaniyan, CSE PhD student, received a U-M 2018 Precision Health Scholars Award for his project, Hardware-accelerated systems for next-generation sequencing analysis. Subramaniyan is working with his advisor Prof. Reetuparna Das to make genome sequencing as affordable as a routine medical test with highly efficient computing. [Full Story] Reetuparna Das earns Borg Early Career Award Prof. Reetuparna Das has been chosen as one of two recipients of the 2018 Borg Early Career Award. This award is given annually to women in computer science or engineering who have made significant research contributions and made a positive impact on advancing women in the computing research community. [Full Story] Prof. Reetuparna Das Inducted into the MICRO Hall of Fame Assistant Professor Reetuparna Das has been inducted into the IEEE/ACM MICRO Hall of Fame, an honor given to outstanding researchers with eight or more papers at the International Symposium on Microarchitecture. MICRO is the flagship conference for microprocessor architecture and one of the top-tier computer architecture conferences. [Full Story] Reetuparna Das Receives NSF CAREER Award to Develop In-situ Compute Memories Assistant Professor Reetuparna Das has been awarded an NSF CAREER grant for her research project, In-Situ Compute Memories for Accelerating Data Parallel Applications. The CAREER grant is one of the National Science Foundation's most prestigious awards, conferred for "the early career-development activities of those teacher-scholars who most effectively integrate research and education within the context of the mission of their organization." [Full Story] Girls Encoded Motivates Students to Study CS For the second year in a row, over 100 high school girls and their parents attended Girls Encoded, an all day event designed to educate and encourage girls to study computer science. The event took place Saturday, April 9th and was co-directed by Prof. Rada Mihalcea, CSE research fellow Veronica Perez-Rosas, and CS student Lauren Molley. [Full Story] |
