September 2009 -- Drs. Ali Ebnenasir and Steve Seidel were recently awarded $106,000 from the National Science Foundation in support of their research. Their project is entitled "Towards the Model Checking of the Partitioned Global Address Space (PGAS) Applications". The goal of this project is to use model checking techniques to increase the dependability of High Performance Computing (HPC) applications based on the Partitioned Global Address Space (PGAS) model of shared memory parallel computing. The project is expected to take approximately 18 months.

August 31, 2009 -- The Department welcomes three new faculty members, Dr. Chaoli Wang, Dr. Scott Kuhl, and Laura Brown.

Dr. Wang received his Ph.D. in computer and information science from the Ohio State University in 2006. He recently completed two years as a postdoctoral researcher at University of California, Davis. His research focuses on large-scale data analysis and visualization, high-performance computing, and user interface and interaction.

Dr. Scott Kuhl received his PhD in computer science from the University of Utah in 2009. His research interests include computer graphics, immersive virtual environments, and human space perception.

Laura Brown is completing her Ph.D. in Biomedical Informatics at Vanderbilt University. Her research interests are in machine learning, bayesian networks and variable selection.

And, congratulations to Dr. Zhenlin Wang who has been promoted to the rank of Associate Professor of Computer Science.
