Wei-Fan Chiang, a graduate student working with the School of Computing’s Zvonimir Rakamaric and Ganesh Gopalakrishnan, has won the prestigious NVIDIA Graduate Fellowship. This program awards $25,000 to each of eleven Ph.D. students involved in computer research, selected from a pool of hundreds of applicants in 39 countries.
According to NVIDIA Chief Scientist Bill Dally, this honor “recognizes and supports excellence in GPU [graphics processing units] computing research in universities worldwide and builds relationships between NVIDIA and the academic community.”
Chiang’s research focuses on on formal error detection and analysis of GPU programs.
“It is a great pleasure and honor to learn that Wei-Fan won this year’s NVIDIA Graduate Fellowship,” says Rakamaric. “He is a tenacious, hard-working student who is genuinely enthusiastic about his research. We are thrilled he was recognized and rewarded by NVIDIA through their notable academia outreach program.”
