Wajih Ul Hassan
Hassan is a fifth-year PhD student whose research focuses on cyber-attack detection and investigation in large organizations and hopes to pursue an academic career.
Hassan是一名五年级的博士生,他的研究重点是大型组织中的网络攻击检测和调查,并希望从事学术生涯。
He calls being chosen for the forum an honor.
他称被选为论坛是一种荣誉。
“This forum will be an opportunity to interact with the scholars that produced some of the most important computer security primitives that I use in my research daily,” Hassan said. “I am very excited to spend a week with these stars and hear their stories in their own words.”
Hassan说:“这个论坛将是一个机会,与那些在我的研究日报中使用了一些最重要的计算机安全原语的学者互动。”“我很兴奋能与这些明星共度一周,用他们自己的话听他们讲故事。”
Sangeetha Abdu Jyothi
Jyothi’s research is focused on networking and systems, with a goal of reducing the Internet’s latency. She graduated this summer with a PhD and has accepted a tenure-track faculty position at the University of California-Irvine, starting in Fall 2020. She plans to spend the next year at VMware Research.
Jyothi的研究重点是网络和系统,目的是减少互联网的延迟。她今年夏天以博士学位毕业,并于2020年秋季开始接受加州大学欧文分校终身教职。她计划明年在VMware Research工作。
She hopes the forum provides the opportunity to learn from what she calls pioneering CS researchers.
她希望论坛能提供一个机会,让她从她所说的开创性的计算机科学研究者那里学习。
“I believe that these interactions will broaden my perspective on research and inspire me to pursue impactful work in the future,” she said.
她说:“我相信,这些互动将拓宽我对研究的看法,并激励我在未来从事有影响力的工作。”
Abdulrahman Mahmoud
Mahmoud focuses on computer architecture, and sees the forum as, in part, an opportunity to share his work combining software testing and hardware reliability and get feedback from some of the brightest mind in his field and others.
“I've come to realize through my graduate studies that a lot of great insights from one field of CS can be fine-tuned and finessed to help explain things in a very different field,” he said.
他说:“我通过我的研究生开始认识到,CS的一个领域有很多伟大的洞察力可以被精细地调整和完善,以帮助解释不同领域的事物。”他说。
Mahmoud plans to pursue an academic career after completing his PhD.
Mahmoud计划在完成博士学位后从事学术生涯。
Doris Xin
Xin focuses her research energy on software infrastructure solutions for machine learning and data analytics. She is inspired by her work developing large-scale machine learning models while working at LinkedIn, as well as the work of researchers such as the Heidelberg laureates.
Xin将她的研究精力集中在机器学习和数据分析的软件基础设施解决方案上。她在LinkedIn工作期间开发大型机器学习模型的工作以及海德堡获奖者等研究人员的工作给了她灵感。
“Their visions for the future of computer science and mathematics inspire my own research goals,” she said.
她说:“他们对计算机科学和数学未来的展望激发了我自己的研究目标。”
Xin just completed her fifth year as a PhD student and plans, after completing her degree, to pursue startup opportunities in data management and machine learning.
Xin刚刚完成了她作为博士生的第五年,在完成学位后,她计划在数据管理和机器学习领域寻求创业机会。
Mengjia Yan
Yan’s research is broad, including computer architecture, security and machine learning. She hopes to learn from the laureates in ways that will help expand her own research vision.
Yan的研究范围很广,包括计算机体系结构、安全和机器学习。她希望能从获奖者身上学到一些有助于拓展自己研究视野的东西。
“I would also like to have discussions with my peers to explore collaboration opportunities,” she said.
她说:“我也希望与我的同龄人进行讨论,探讨合作的机会。”
Yan has just completed her PhD and will soon join the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology as an assistant professor.
Yan刚完成博士学位,不久将加入电气工程与计算机科学系和麻省理工学院,担任助理教授。
