EECS undergrads Adam Liu, Richard Mar, Thien Nguyen, and Bing Xia are part of a team of students who won "Best Software Tool" and a gold medal for the second year in a row at the International Genetically Engineered Machine Competition (iGEM). Students from all over the world gather at MIT to present projects which build biological systems and operate them in living cells. The team’s instructor is EECS Ph.D. grad and post doc Douglas Densmore and was sponsored in part the Center for Hybrid Embedded Systems Software (CHESS).

EECS graduate student Jike Chong is the recipient an Intel Ph.D. Fellowship, supported by the Intel Corp. This is a highly competitive program where students must be selected by the university to apply and then are reviewed and handpicked by the Intel Fellows and their designees. The award covers tuition, stipend, connection with an Intel technical leader working in the student’s area of study and a travel grant to meet their Intel technical leader. Jike’s current research interest is the exploitation of communication and computation pattern across application domains to efficiently map concurrent applications onto parallel platforms, his research advisor is Prof. Kurt Keutzer.

Kathy Yelick, EECS professor and director of the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC) was featured in a Daily Californian article titled “Campus Researchers to Launch Study on Cloud Computing: UC Berkeley Scientists Receive $16 Million DOE Stimulus Grant to Fund Magellan Project”. The lab's study of cloud computing, which is funded by stimulus funding from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), will evaluate the cost-effectiveness and energy efficiency of cloud computing for scientific use. The lab is sharing a $32 million grant with Argonne National Laboratory in Illinois.

EECS graduate student Xuening Sun, whose advisor is Prof. Alberto Sangiovanni-Vincentelli, has been named a winner of the UC Berkeley Mayfield Fellowship, a year-long program designed to bring together graduate students from the Haas Business School, College of Engineering, and School of Information Management. The program provides a broad entrepreneurship experience by combining ongoing mentoring with faculty, company executives, venture capitalists and Silicon Valley networking activities. Fellows further have an opportunity to travel and study entrepreneurship in Asia in the summer.

Research on automated collision avoidance algorithms that can be used for civilian aircraft in the air traffic control system by Claire Tomlin and her team is featured in a National Science Foundation (NSF) online magazine article and video titled, “Unmanned Helicopters Could Help Air Traffic Controllers”. They have developed “quadrotors”, about two feet by two feet, snap together like Legos and look more like toys than airliners. But, the technology the quadrotors are used to test could translate to systems that better protect the flying public. More>>
