Alfred E. Mann Department of Biomedical Engineering
Workshops & Infosessions
The A.P. Giannini Foundation invites physician-scientists and junior researchers with six to 36 months of postdoctoral research experience to apply to the 2017 Postdoctoral Research Fellowship Program. The Fellowship Program supports innovative research in the basic sciences and applied fields, and trains fellows to become established investigators. The research project should advance the translation of biomedical science into treatments, preventions and cures for human diseases.
The 2017 application form and instructions are available at apgianninifoundation.org.
The foundation must receive the candidate's completed application and letters of reference before 3 p.m. (PDT) on Monday, November 1, 2016. All letters of reference must be sent to info@apgianninifoundation.org.
Eligibility
must have completed no less than six months and no more than three years in their mentor's laboratory as of November 1, 2016
must be a U.S. citizen or permanent alien resident
must hold or complete an MD, MD/PhD, PhD or equivalent degree before activation of training
must arrange research training before applying to the program. Research training program must be sponsored by an accredited California medical school and performed under the mentorship of a principal investigator (PI) at the sponsoring medical school. Mentor must hold a full-time faculty appointment at the sponsoring medical school as the fellow. Mentor may supervise a maximum of two A.P. Giannini Foundation fellows in any one year.
Stipend
competitive stipend for research training and an annual allowance for career development programs, services and resources
Stipends can only be used for support. The current stipends are $50,000 in Year 1, $50,000 in Year 2 and $52,000 in Year 3. The foundation will announce the 2017 fellowship stipends by December 15, 2016.
Candidates may be eligible to obtain additional salary support from their sponsoring institution. Candidates cannot currently hold a full fellowship from another source or a federally funded career development award.

Architecting More Power-Efficient Datacenters By Removing the Peaks
Thu, Sep 01, 2016 @ 04:00 PM - 05:00 PM
Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Dean Tullsen, University of California, San Diego
Talk Title: Architecting More Power-Efficient Datacenters By Removing the Peaks
Series: EE 598 Computer Engineering Seminar Series
Abstract: Datacenters are rapidly increasing in size and computational ability. However, this growth places great stress on the power delivery and heat removal of the datacenter. The cost of power and cooling, and the computational capacity of the datacenter, are both driven by the peak demands on the power infrastructure and the cooling infrastructure, even though most datacenters see large differences between the peak demand and the average demand. We will discuss two technologies that enable the datacenter to service the peak computational demand, yet present the power and cooling infrastructure with a flat profile that hides the peaks, without sacrificing peak-period performance. We make use of batteries and phase-change materials (e.g., wax) for these optimizations.
Biography: Dean Tullsen is a professor and chair of the computer science and engineering department at University of California, San Diego. He received his PhD from the University of Washington in 1996, where he introduced simultaneous multithreading (hyper-threading). He has continued to work in the area of computer architecture and back-end compilation, where with various co-authors he has introduced many new ideas to the research community, including threaded multipath execution, symbiotic job scheduling for multithreaded processors, dynamic critical path prediction, speculative precomputation, heterogeneous multi-core architectures, conjoined core architectures, event-driven simultaneous code optimization, and data triggered threads. He is a Fellow of the ACM and the IEEE. He has twice won the Influential ISCA Paper Award. He is chair of the IEEE Technical Committee on Computer Architecture.
