Carnegie Mellon Electrical and Computer Engineering NSF Fellows
Posted by John Hunter | Under NSF Fellows Thursday Jun 21, 2007ECE 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).
I am currently a student at the New Jersey Institute of Technology. How do I apply for these fellowships?
See our Science and Engineering Fellowship page for links to the web sites for each fellowship and application instructions.
The NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program should open in August at which time you may apply online.
