Students in the Spotlight

Balancing Power, Performance in the Cloud

Farah Fargo, a senior HPC system engineer at Intel who earned a PhD at the UA in 2014, received the Best Research Poster award at the 2014 IEEE International Cloud and Autonomic Computing Conference in London for her research in cloud computing and load-balancing systems.

We were managing multiple resources at the same time: the number of cores, core frequency and memory amount.

Sending Optical Fibers into Space, and Back

Brian Fox, PhD 2013, launched optical fibers aboard space shuttle Atlantis so he could study how the radiation-hardened fibers fared in the harsh space environment on the Materials International Space Station Experiment-7.

How many people get to send their research into space? MISSE is one of those rare opportunities that only come around once or twice in a lifetime.

Developing Diplomacy Skills

Stephanie Zawada, MS 2017, attended a leadership workshop on science diplomacy in Washington D.C., hosted by the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

The workshop allowed me to engage with a constellation of science policy superstars and exposed me to new pathways to develop trust and facilitate better communication with government officials.
