Course Reg Numbers: [2/4]69[8/9] 2: fresh/soph 4: jun/sen 8: paid 9: unpaid |Sometimes not required but highly recommended Meets the junior design requirement - LMC 4701/2 - 9 credits of undergrad research (2 sem unpaid iirc) BS/MS apply after 60 credits; can do research as project/course option Undergrad research can be "academic" or "implementation-oriented." - Much less grant- and paper-oriented than Masters/grad research. # Hyesoon Kim ## Computer Architecture Working on GPU processor design - CUDA Everywhere - Open Source Design - CuPBoP?? Looking for C/C++ skill set GPU (CUDA/OpenCL) programmer LLVM experience hopefully Interested in compiler, runtime system # Frank Li ## Data-Driven Methods for Improving Internet Security BEES Lab. Applies "empirical approaches" to Internet security concerns. Probably a solutions-y thinktank? - Large-scale Internet/Web Measurements - Ex: massscan IPv4 range (monitor server mgmt behaviors) - Develop new techniques for IPv6 internet - Also data mines auth mechanisms & password leaks - Analyze open-source Git repos to understand secure software development - Characterize passive DNS data to understand user network traffic patterns Doesn't feel like it's for me. Too much of a social-science study - Qualitative User Studies - Understand how sysadmins manage software updates - Understand webadmins password authentication policies - How users react to security notices/warnings Expects background in web security I think? # Rogues Gallery VIP Team ## What? Transistor scaling/hitting the end of Moore's law. Investigates new tech for continuing to improve performance "Rogues Gallery Testbed" (FPGA & FPAA) - Unique, "rogue" hardware that needs to be programmed into useful applications---unlike commodity memory/processors Worked on: neuromorphic something emu chick neo-memory quantum computing maybe reconfigurable computing Needs skills: - Min: knowledge of linux, ssh, programming (C/C++/Pyth), lin algebra - Preferred: ECE 3400 (FPAA), CX 4220, and another class I haven't taken # Karen Feigh ## UROC Opportunities with Helicopters - Cognitive Engineering - What if we designed training and technology with how people actually do their work? - procedures and displays for air and space - basic research for mil command & control decisionmaking - adaptive intelligence for industrial robots & autonomous vehicles - Examine human-machine interaction using field work, math, etc. Hiring into projects (multiple year projects getting started): - Humans & AI Piloted Helicopter (special forces/medevac) - Helicopter Multi-modal Symbology Working on better AI/better human interfacing Requesting: - Experience w/ unreal engine # Wei Xu ## NLP Research Lab NLP side - Text generation - Human-centered eval - Multilingual NLP - Stylistics Machine Learning - Sequence-to-sequence models - Controllability of neural network - Cross-lingual transfer learning - Zero-shot/few-shot learning - Robust domain adaptation Want possible multilingual, interested in linguistics. Didn't mention ML proficiency already. seq2seq: simplify english Social Media Data: like hashtag word analysis # Anirudh Rama (or the actual prof?) ## Community wireless networks/organic mesh networks - Affordable internet connection - Networks hosting local services - Disaster scenarios Studying: - Service performance/putting servers on mesh - Handling unpredictable network topology like wireless links, obstructions, unreliable nodes, difficult issue diagnosis Setting up a mesh testbed on GT campus (wireless router/antenna on buildings; monitor perf; video conference server) Preferred: CS 2200, Linux SSH, Basic Networking # Vivek Sarkar ## Habanero Extreme Scale Software Research Lab - Extreme parallelism/heterogeneity at the end of Moore's Law - Distributed parallelism, new software foundation of compilers, runtimes, debuggers, programming languages, etc. - Parallelism cliffs are very hard for something like Python code. !! See orthogonal persistence techniques & ideas in Houyhhnum Computing - Programming models (like better/safer primitives in C++, Pyth, Rust) - Compilers - Runtime Systems - Handling Debugging Better Working on async bulk-synchronous actor-model parallelism 1 Interested in graph algo, distributed machine learning - Rust/C++ actor-based programming model 2 Pyth kernels using Intrepydd optimizing compiler - Sparse matrix/tensor computation, pandas 3 Statistic & Dynamic Program Analysis Techniques # Florian Schaefer ## Inference and Computation|Competitive Optimization - Inf & Comp Conditional (normal?) distributions have a very deep connection to factorizing matrices with Cholesky. Creates fast algorithms for stats & physical simulations - Competitive Optimization Sort of game theory, adversarial learning, and other. Gradient Descent? Competitive Gradient Descent - Machine Learning for PDEs Very cool! Very mathy!!! Interested in: - Strong math affinity - Programming experience with lots of new frameworks - Likely 1-on-1 meetings - Expects substantial effort on weekly basis - Wants you to become published in a good venue (~1-1.5yrs) # Spencer Bryngelson ## Fluid dynamics for humans Algorithms for flows (mechanics/fluid dynamics) - Computational Methods He works in the computational physics/supercomputing research group. Industrial-scale simulations!!! (Like exascale/perfect scaling on a big computer) Wants: - Intermediate expertise in C/C++ or Fortran - Strong handle on numerical linear algebra - Knowledge of numerics for PDEs Interested in: - Computing at huuuge scale - Using latest HPC hardware - Solving pressing problems in health/defense # Thad Starner ## Contextual Computing Group Works on Google Glass woah. Product originator, still works on new stuff. Head Worn Display. - One research in sign language recognition stuff - Significant problem for language abilities of deaf children - Using MediaPipe for widescale sign-language recognition on a smartphone - Cetacean Hearing & Telemetry - Research Group also studies: brain-neural interfacing Wants: - Sophomores & Freshmen for long-term study - Send email with UROC + Name + Project Interest to thad@gatech Not really my thing. Running List ------------ - Hyesoon Kim (GPU/EE stuff) - Rogues Gallery (but only the research side pls) - Wei Xu (NLP) - Anirudh Rama (community mesh network topology) - Vivek Sarkar (Habanero) - somewhat cool but outside my wheelhouse - Florian Schaefer (mathy guy) - yes yes yes - Spencer Bryngelson (fluid dynamics & hpc) Possibly - Niti's professor - any other HPC researchers?
