Greg Ganger has received a prestigious HP Innovation award for the second year in a row. Ganger, professor of ECE and computer science, was among 60 recipients worldwide to receive an award as part of HP's 2009 Innovation Research Program. The program is designed to create opportunities for colleges, universities and research institutes around the world to conduct breakthrough collaborative research with HP.

Ganger, director of the Parallel Data Lab at Carnegie Mellon, wrote a winning proposal titled "Toward Scalable Self-Storage." He will collaborate with HP Labs on a research initiative focused on data storage infrastructure issues.

Even if you were up in the nosebleed section of Mellon Arena during the Stanley Cup playoffs, you could still get a closeup view of the game. Thanks to Professor Priya Narasimhan's research group and Yinz Cam, all you need is a Wi-Fi enabled device.

ECE graduate student Yen-Tzu Lin has received a fellowship from NVIDIA, the world leader in visual computing technologies and the inventor of the GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), a high-performance processor that generates interactive graphics on workstations, personal computers, game consoles, and mobile devices.

Lin, whose thesis advisor is Shawn Blanton, is a member of the Advanced Chip Test Laboratory. Her research interests include VLSI test methodology development and evaluation. Her current research involves the development of cost-effective test methodologies that create high-quality test sets through utilization of the NVIDIA GPU environment.

Carnegie Mellon University and Taiwanese officials have established research and educational outreach programs with the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI). Research at the government-sponsored ITRI Lab@CMU focuses on circuit design and applications in communication, information technology, computer and consumer electronics, and multimedia.
