Two UC Berkeley students are working with our research initiatives team this summer on manipulation-resistant mechanisms for cloud computing. They will work with ICSI researchers Eric Friedman and Scott Shenker and UC Berkeley's Ali Ghodsi and Ion Stoica.
Weibin Zhang has recently joined our speech researchers. Weibin is a PhD candidate at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, where he has studied on a Hong Kong PhD Fellowship since 2010. Before that, he worked for Datang Mobile, first as a researcher and later as team leader of the multimedia group. While at Datang, he worked on speech enhancement algorithms such as acoustic echo cancellation and also on a multimedia system, Eden.
Giang Nguyen has arrived to work for the summer in the Networking and Security group. He received his undergraduate degree at UC Berkeley in 2005 and after an industry stint entered graduate school at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where he is a PhD student. He has broad interests in networks and security, with a current focus on Internet censorship circumvention.
Alexander Ziem has joined the FrameNet project through our German visiting program, which is funded by the German Academic Exchange Program (DAAD). Alexander studied at the Universities of Cologne and Bonn, and also studied abroad at the University of Melbourne. He has worked in various teaching and research positions at the Universities of Düsseldorf, Berlin, Bremen, and Basel, in Switzerland.
Ilya Nikolaevskiy is a visitor working with Scott Shenker of Networking and Security. He's here on our Finnish visiting program, which is funded by the Finnish Funding Agency for Technology and Innovation through Aalto University and the Helsinki Institute for Information Technology.
Jussi Kangasharju is vising ICSI's Networking and Security group through our Finnish visiting program, which is funded by the Finnish Funding Agency for Technology and Innovation through Aalto University and the Helsinki Institute for Information Technology.
Four visitors from Finland recently joined our Networking and Security Group: Andrei Gurtov, Dmitriy Kuptsov, Andrey Lukyanenko, and André Schumacher. They are here as part of ICSI's Finnish visiting program, which is funded by the Finnish Funding Agency for Technology and Innovation through Aalto University and the Helsinki Institute for Information Technology.
Kalle Palomäki recently joined ICSI's Speech Group. He is here on ICSI's Finnish visiting program, which is funded by the Finnish Funding Agency for Technology and Innovation through Aalto University and the Helsinki Institute for Information Technology.
In 1988, ICSI ramped up to full staff, and Morgan began in his role as leader of the Realization Group. The group would focus both on building massively systems and on applications in speech recognition.
The group’s early successes were in designing and building machines powerful enough to do speech recognition. In 1989, the group designed an array of digital signal processing chips in a ring topology that used programmable gate arrays to interconnect processors.
This week, we'll be posting a two-part profile of Nelson Morgan, so make sure to check back for the rest of the story.
Morgan has led speech recognition research at ICSI since the Institute’s inauguration in 1988. Morgan also served as director for thirteen years starting in 1999, the year the agreement that had established ICSI expired. Morgan volunteered for the challenge of broadening and stabilizing the Institute’s funding base, and in 2012, at the end of his tenure, the Institute is doing better financially than it has in years. But then Morgan has always enjoyed a challenge.
