ECE Students Awarded NSF Graduate Research Fellowships

Kasick’s research is focused on the challenges of fingerpointing the root cause of failures in large, complex distributed systems. “This is an increasingly important research area, particularly for developing highly available computer systems, because diagnosing the root cause of failures and initiating appropriate recovery actions are critical to keeping systems up and running 24/7,” said his advisor, Priya Narasimhan, Associate Professor of ECE.

ECE senior Felix Duvallet and alumnus Daniel Weller (B.S. 2006) also won NSF Graduate Research Fellowships this year. Weller is now a graduate student in electrical engineering at MIT, where he will use his fellowship. Duvallet plans to apply his award toward graduate study at Carnegie Mellon’s Robotics Institute. Senior Veronica Yusz, who received an honorable mention, will continue as a graduate student in ECE next fall working on magnetic materials research with Jimmy Zhu, ABB Professor of ECE, who directs Carnegie Mellon’s Data Storage Systems Center (DSSC).
