After hiring 7 of our Ph.D. students over the last 2 years, Google decided to put more effort in recruiting our students, in an event nicknamed Google Day. Check out some pictures of the event.
The Department congratulates Professor Tao Jiang, who was named an ACM Fellow for his contributions to computational biology and computational complexity, and Rajiv Gupta, who was elevated to IEEE Fellow for his contributions to computer architecture and optimizing compilers.
Ph.D. student Petko Bakalov was runner up in the Poster Presentation Contest of the 15th ACM International Symposium on Advances in Geographic Information Systems (ACM GIS 2007) for his poster “TS2-tree - an Efficient Similarity Based Organization for Trajectory Data”, co-authored with Eamonn Keogh and Vassilis J. Tsotras. GIS is the premier venue for geospatial research. Congratulations to Petko!
Congratulations to Ph.D. candidate Dragomir Yankov, whose paper, “Disk Aware Discord Discovery: Finding Unusual Time Series in Terabyte Sized Datasets” won the Best Paper Award at the IEEE 2007 International Conference on Data Mining (ICDM). Not only did Dragomir win the best paper award, but he is the only graduate student to have two first-author papers in the conference. Congratulations, Dragomir!
The Computer Science & Engineering Department is proud to present the 2007-2008 Distinguished Lecture Series. See Upcoming Colloquia or contact Prof. Lonardi for more information.
The new textbook, “Digital Design” by Prof. Frank Vahid of UCR's Dept. of Computer Science and Engineering has been widely adopted in its first year. Several top-ranked engineering schools, including Univ. of Michigan, UC San Diego, UC Irvine, Univ. of Arizona, Texas A&M, and Notre Dame, have adopted the book, along with many dozens of other schools worldwide. The book not only provides a modern introduction to digital computer circuits, but inspires students through the use of numerous examples demonstrating engineering as a social discipline with significant positive impact on human lives.
Congratulations to Ph.D. candidate Wei Wu whose paper, “Improving the Reliability of On-chip Data Cache under Process Variation” won the Best Paper Award at the 25th IEEE International Conference on Computer Design for the Processor and Architecture track. Congratulations to Wei and co-authors Professor Jun Yang, Professor Sheldon Tan, and Dr. Shih-Lien Lu from Intel.
