 John Linford, graduate student of the Computer Science department under Dr. Adrian Sandu, has been recently selected to receive a 2007 National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate (NDSEG) Fellowship. The NDSEG Fellowship is sponsored and funded by the Department of Defense (DoD).
NDSEG selections are made by the Air Force Research Laboratory/Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFRL/AFOSR), the Office of Naval Research (ONR), the Army Research Office (ARO), and the DoD High Performance Computing Modernization Program Office (HPCMP). The American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) administers the NDSEG Fellowship.
Linford's application was selected by the HPCMO from over 3,400 applications that were received this year. The NDSEG Fellowship will cover his tuition and required fees for three years, as well as a yearly stipend of $30,500, $31,000 and $31,500, respectively.
"The importance of winning the NDSEG Fellowship is the freedom it gives to pursue the topics I find most interesting and relevant," says Linford. "My favorites are high performance computing, programming languages, and large-scale modeling, so I plan to develop tools for massively-scalable high-resolution air-quality modeling. With support from NSF through the Central European Summer Research Institute (CESRI), I will help develop the next generation of massively-scalable performance analysis tools at the Central Institute of Applied Mathematics (ZAM) at Research Centre Juelich in Juelich, Germany. My work there will launch the next academic year, when I begin as an NDSEG fellow" Linford concludes.
John Linford has made us very proud, and we wish him continued success in the field he has chosen! |
