CS Colloquium
Dr. Margaret Martonosi
Assistant Director for Computer and information Science and Engineering (CISE)
US National Science Foundation
Abstract:
The National Science Foundation (NSF) supports a majority of US academic research in the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) topic areas. Since February, 2020, Dr. Margaret Martonosi serves as NSF CISE AD, stewarding the CISE directorate’s $1B annual budget on behalf of research, education, workforce and infrastructure funding in CISE topic areas and for science as a whole. Martonosi is conducting a series of “virtual campus visits” to engage in conversation about a vision for CISE research going forward, and to field Q&A from the CISE community. Please join us for this highly-interactive session and please bring your input and questions!
