NCSA awards fellowships to
13 UI faculty members
The National Center for Supercomputing Applications has named 13 UI faculty members
as faculty fellows for the 2006-2007 academic year.
The NCSA/UIUC
Faculty Fellows program extends opportunities in advanced computing
and information technology to UI faculty members. In addition to financial
support, faculty fellows have access to NCSA’s high-performance
computers, visualization- and data-analysis tools, and other advanced
information technology, as well as opportunities to collaborate with
NCSA staff members. Awards are administered through NCSA’s Campus
Relations office, directed by Radha Nandkumar. The program is funded
by NCSA and the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research.
“The fellows program offers opportunities for faculty and NCSA staff members
to collaborate on projects of common interest and to be exposed to the breadth
of research on campus. Nandkumar said “This is a truly beneficial win-win
situation.”
