Facebook awarded an $80,000 research gift to Prof. Dutt and PhD student Biswadip Maity on studying hyperscale datacenter platform power management for applying lessons learned from their earlier research on mobile/embedded energy-efficient and power-aware runtime management policies to hyperscale datacenters. Facebook decided to leverage prior successes from Prof. Dutt’s research group (DRG) on self-aware energy-efficient and power-aware runtime management of mobile and embedded systems. Maity is developing adaptive, reflective energy-efficient resource managers for emerging data-centric applications. “I am extremely grateful for this research gift, and I’m excited to make Facebook datacenters more energy-efficient for billions of everyday users,” Maity said.
Bryan Donyanavard is an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at San Diego State University. He received his BS and MS in Computer Engineering from UC Santa Barbara, and his PhD in Computer Science from UC Irvine. He previously spent time as a researcher at TU Munich and Ericsson. He has spent time as an engineer at National Security Technologies, Oracle, and Google. Prof. Donyanavard’s research revolves around self-aware computing systems: he works to enable resource-constrained systems to make intelligent self-management decisions at runtime, typically for high-performance cyber-physical applications. Welcome to CECS Prof. Donyanavard!
Mohsen Imani is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at UC Irvine. He received his Ph.D. from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at UC San Diego. Prof. Imani’s research has been recognized with several awards, including the Bernard and Sophia Gordon Engineering Leadership Award and the Powell Fellowship Award. He has also received the Best Doctorate Research from UCSD and several best paper nomination awards at multiple top conferences including Design Automation and Test in Europe (DATE) in 2020 and International Conference on Computer-Aided Design (ICCAD) in 2020. Welcome to CECS Prof. Imani!
CECS graduate student Luke Chen received the 2021 John and Joanna Duffy Graduate Student Fellowship, a prestigious fellowship from the Henry Samueli School of Engineering. The fellowship supports Masters of Science students who help provide a sense of inclusion in graduate programs. It covers student fees and tuition, allowing the student to devote more time to research and learning. The student will participate in community outreach activities and receive mentorship. Luke Chen is an M.Sc. Student working in Prof. Al Faruque’s Embedded & Cyber-Physical Systems Lab. Luke’s research area of focus is currently Embedded Systems – mHealth System. Congrats Luke!
