Professor Van P. Carey, CITRIS researcher and UC Berkeley professor of Mechanical Engineering recently received an award from Hewlett-Packard as part of a growing research effort on sustainable energy technologies in the Energy and Information Technologies (EIT) Laboratory that he founded with CITRIS seed funding. Prof. Carey has attracted more that $250,000 in new funding for this lab in recently awarded grants from HP and UC Discovery.
The CITRIS sponsored Berkeley Symposium on Energy Efficient Electronic Systems recently gathered about 100 researchers. EE Times reporter Rick Merritt interviewed Sun Microsystems co-founder and keynote speaker Bill Joy. Watch interview.
Professor Alexandre Bayen was recently interviewed by CBS’ Smartplanet, a new online channel from CBS. The interview focused on Mobile Millennium, a traffic information system built jointly by Nokia, Navteq and UC Berkeley, in partnership with the US Department of Transportation and the California Department of Transportation. View two minute interview.
Ravi Nemana, CITRIS Executive Director for Services and Health Care, received an Honorable Mention Award of $5,000 for his contributions to IBM’s Smarter Planet University Jam. Since 2001, IBM has used jams to involve more than 300,000 people around the world in far-reaching exploration and problem-solving. IBM's Jams provide for collaborative innovation and bring different minds and different perspectives together to discover new solutions to long-standing problems.
UC Berkeley professor Alex Bayen was recently intereviewed at CITRIS Headquarters about the Mobile Millennium project. Watch the video.
A group of biologists at UC Santa Cruz is employing
sensor and communications technology, partially supported by CITRIS,
that they have built into radio collars to better understand the dynamics of the mountain lions that live in
the Santa Cruz Mountains.
Professor Kwan-Liu Ma at
UC Davis takes data sets that can be on the peta or tera scale
and turns them into explorable, workable, and visualizable units
CITRIS "shortens the pipeline" between world-class laboratory research in science and engineering and the creation of startups, companies, and …
The Advanced CompuTational Software (ACTS) Collection comprises a set
of non commercial tools mainly developed at the Department of Energy's
(DOE) laboratories, sometimes in collaboration with universities. These
software tools aim to simplify the solution of common and important
computational problems, and have substantially benefited a wide range of
applications and fields in computational sciences.
