Learn how CSL is leading innovation in information technology research.CSL researchers win SASP’09 best paper award for work on translating CUDA for FPGAs
October 20, 2009 - 9:47am - By: Kim Gudeman, CSLCSL researchers Deming Chen and Wen-mei Hwu have received the best paper award at IEEE’s Symposium on Application Specific Processors 2009. The research focuses on applying the CUDA programming language to field-programming gate arrays (FPGAs), opening up a new research area where compiler and synthesis techniques intersect.
Illinois researcher uses modeling to target cancer
October 19, 2009 - 4:21pm - By: Megan Kelly, CSLCSL researcher Olgica Milenkovic believes a cure for cancer could be a reality, thanks to cross-disciplinary research she is conducting with Illinois colleagues in microbiology and pathobiology.
The researchers are working to genetically modify poxviruses and inject them into tumors. Their objective is to program the viruses to invade and eradicate cancer cells.
Illinois undergrad helps break ground on innovative neuroengineering research
October 13, 2009 - 10:52am - By: Megan Kelly, CSLMartin McCormick once thought mind reading was a talent reserved for superheroes in the comics. But he’s not so sure anymore.
Illinois researchers win Best Student Paper for research advancing computer vision
October 9, 2009 - 2:25pm - By: Megan Kelly, CSLECE professor Yi Ma, graduate students Shankar Rao and Hossein Mobahi, and 2006 Ph.D. ECE alumnus Allen Yang won the 2009 Best Student Paper Award (Sang Uk Lee Award) at the Asian Conference on Computer Vision.
InfoStructure seminar series to challenge intersections between technology and society
October 9, 2009 - 9:02am - By: Kim Gudeman, CSLImagine the success of the iPhone without millions of busy people who demand information on the run. Or consider the viability of MySpace without the legion of teens, like, dying to be connected to their social network with one click.
Neither would exist without the other. But too often, information technology is discussed as though it were independent of society, a chasm that graduate students at the University of Illinois are hoping to bridge through a new educational initiative.
Bursting the Bubble: Researchers study ionospheric plasma bubbles that interfere with communications systems
September 24, 2009 - 8:00am - By: Kim Gudeman, Coordinated Science LaboratoryHigh up in the ionosphere, plasma bubbles invisible to the naked eye wreak havoc on communication and navigation systems back on Earth.
Instabilities in the bubbles often cause over-the-horizon radars to either lose signals or to register readings from different regions than where they should be looking. GPS receivers can fail as these structures pass overhead.
In Memory: CSL loses former researcher Dick Brown, a pioneer in digital computing
