Andrew Levine received a MS in Computer Science from Washington University in 2006. Prior to being at Wash U, Andrew was Senior System Administrator for Interpacket Inc, a global internet service provider. He was responsible for computers all over the world. At Washington University, Andrew was part of the Applied Research Laboratory doing research with John Lockwood and Ron Loui. Andrew's research focused on high speed AI algorithms. His current work focuses on geo-spatial visualization. He is manager and lead developer in a group responsible for implementations of an OpenGIS WMS (Web Map Server) and a WFS (Web Feature Server). These technologies play an integral role in a suite of applications for his employer SSS Research Inc. located in Lisle, IL.
SSS Research, Inc. is a leading edge technology research and development firm focusing in Web 2.0 geo-spatial visualization solutions. Clients include U.S. Federal Government Agencies and Fortune 2000 companies around the world. SSS Research builds rich, visualization based thin-client spatial applications that deliver desktop like functionality in a standard web browser. Users work in a real-time, collaborative spatial environment. In addition to demonstrating talking about new web technologies, Andrew will discuss what life is like in a startup environment that is starting to take off. SSS Research was started in 2003 and is now over 30 people. It has doubled in size in 2006, 2007, and it is projected to double again in 2008.
| Montclair State University, NJ - Internship | March 06, 2008 |
The Department of Computer Science and the Center of Imaging and Optics at Montclair State University are pleased to organize a 8 week intensive undergraduate research program where students will work individually and collaboratively on a wide variety of imaging and computer vision problems benefiting from a group of experienced research mentors. In 2008, the REU site will take place between June 22 and August 15. Four faculty mentors from within the CS department will provide supervision.
Here are some highlights:
DEADLINE FOR APPLICATION: MARCH 20, 2008
SUPPORT: The students will live and work in campus for the project period and will be compensated for their participation with a stipend of $3296. In addition, their lodging in campus will be paid and a daily meal allowance will be provided. Travel to and from Montclair are also covered (up to $500).
ELIGIBILITY: The program is open to computing related majors with at least one year of courses taken within the program of study. In our understanding, computing related areas include but are not limited to computer science, computational science, computer engineering, information technology, information systems, bioinformatics, electrical engineering, physics or mathematics. The students are also expected to know how to program in at least one high level language such as but not limiting to C, C++, or Java.
Eight positions are available each year. One of the students will play the role of peer mentor / student assistant and will start work in March 2008 (with additional compensation).
Funding is limited to United States citizens or US permanent residents. Members of the underrepresented groups are particularly invited to apply.
SPONSOR: This project is jointly funded by the National Science Foundation’s Research Experience for Undergraduates and the Department of Defense’s Assure programs.

| PhD Fellowship |
OUR PROGRAM
Our IGERT program in Computational Transportation Science (CTS) provides fellowships to PhD students in several participating academic departments (computer science, civil and materials engineering, urban planning and policy, information and decision sciences, and mechanical and industrial engineering). CTS engages students and faculty from these disciplines in collaborative research to solve a broad range of transportation problems. By taking advantage of ubiquitous computing and focusing on the information aspects of transportation, CTS researchers can improve the efficiency of day-to-day transportation. Students interested in topics such as large distributed and mobile systems, wireless and vehicular networking, mobile peer-to-peer computing, sensor fusion, human-computer interaction, privacy and information security will find especially interesting applications of their work to CTS.
FELLOWSHIP BENEFITS
- $30,000 stipend for 2 years (additional support provided beyond 2 years through students' home departments)
- tuition and fee waivers
- interdisciplinary curriculum and advising
- international research experiences
- industrial internships
- support for research and travel
DEADLINES
We are currently accepting applications for fellowships commencing in Fall 2008. We accept applications on a rolling basis, but you are encouraged to send us your materials as soon as possible. Detailed application instructions are available here: http://cts.cs.uic.edu/apply.php. You must also apply to the PhD program in your chosen department. If their deadline has passed, please contact us. US citizenship or permanent residency is required.

| NSF-STC Undergraduate Internship |
Dear Prospective Candidate:
We would like to invite you to apply to the National Science Foundation - Science and Technology Centers (STCs) Summer Undergraduate Internship Programs. The NSF-STCs offer paid summer internships at our seventeen centers, located at prestigious universities around the United States. These summer internships provide undergraduates an opportunity to conduct research in a “graduate school” setting in the following fields: 1) biological sciences, 2) computer and information sciences, 3) engineering, 4) geosciences, and 5) mathematical and physical sciences.
These summer research opportunities are fully funded and are an excellent way to gain a competitive edge toward graduate school. The centers are currently accepting applications for the 2008 Summer Programs. Deadlines are rapidly approaching and I would like to encourage anyone interested to apply. For more information on these programs, please access our website at www.nsfstc.org
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me via email at wuehara@cens.ucla.edu. Thank you for your time and I look forward to seeing your application.
Sincerely,
Wes Uehara
