All, I'm passing along a message I received for Swarthmore CS students from Dr. Steve Swanson at the Non-Volatile System Laboratory at the University of California at San Diego. Please see below! Cheers, Zach /(Message from Dr. Swanson starts below.)/ I'm a professor in the CSE department at the University of California, San Diego, and I'm writing to encourage students at Swarthmore who are applying to grad school to apply to UCSD. My undergrad was a smal liberal arts institution (The University of Puget Sound), so I know the quality (in both depth and breadth) of the graduates thatt schools like Swarthmore can produce and the variety of perspectives and approaches their graduates bring. I am recruiting students to help re-engineer computer systems to accommodate new non-volatile memory technologies (e.g., the flash memory in SSDs and the technologies could replace it). The work spans the hardware/software boundary and includes processor architecture, operating systems, compilers, programming languages, and applications. My group, The Non-Volatile System Laboratory <https://eng-ucsd-dot-yamm-track.appspot.com/Redirect?ukey=1UDUOEeLf3JGaej0S9f9waPQQR9-hk4MR-lTZb3CTOEg-969980239&key=YAMMID-31570076&link=http%3A%2F%2Fswanson.flywheelsites.com%2Fjoin-us%2F>, has been a leader in this area for a decade and we have a strong track record of producing outstanding researchers and placing them at top tech companies and universities. For instance, Laura Caulfield (Ph.D., 2013) joined Microsoft and makes key decisions about to integrate non-volatile memories into the Microsoft cloud. Yiying Zhang (a former post doc) is now a professor at Purdue. More broadly, my department is looking for strong students in all areas of computer science. Prospective students can learn more about our faculty's specialties in the departmental brochure <https://eng-ucsd-dot-yamm-track.appspot.com/Redirect?ukey=1UDUOEeLf3JGaej0S9f9waPQQR9-hk4MR-lTZb3CTOEg-969980239&key=YAMMID-31570076&link=http%3A%2F%2Fcse.ucsd.edu%2Fsites%2Fcse.ucsd.edu%2Ffiles%2Fcse%2Fcse_brochure_2013.pdf>. Any interested students should feel to contact me with any questions. -steve (swanson at eng.ucsd.edu) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
