CISE Affiliate Coskun Wins NSF Career Awards
CISE Faculty Affiliate Professor Ayse Coskun (ECE) was recoginzed with an NSF CAREER Award for high-impact research that effectively combines research and educational objectives. T
Coskun will use her CAREER award to address rising performance and power demands on computer hardware. The need is critical as today’s inefficient technology imposes steep operational and cooling costs on data centers and high performance computing (HPC) clusters, and appears unlikely to meet the high performance demands of next-generation embedded systems.
Coskun’s goal is to demonstrate that 3D stacked systems, in which multiple chips are manufactured and vertically connected, will provide major efficiency improvements to the nation’s computing infrastructure, leading to substantial cost and carbon footprint reductions.
“Our objective is to create the catalyst techniques required to make 3D systems effective agents for attaining low-power, high-throughput computing in both embedded systems and HPC/data centers.”
The NSF CAREER award funding will also enable Coskun to redouble her efforts to provide innovative educational experiences to College of Engineering students and expose K-12 students to the excitement of engineering.
