released
May 23, 2000
The National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) has chosen 11 faculty
members at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign to participate in the
2000-2001 NCSA/UIUC Faculty Fellows program. This program is jointly funded by
NCSA and the UIUC Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research.
The Faculty Fellows program works to extend opportunities in advanced computing
and information technology to faculty on the U of I campus. In addition to
financial support, Faculty Fellows have access to NCSA's high-performance
computers, visualization and virtual reality environments, and opportunities to
collaborate with colleagues, both at NCSA and at National Computational Science
Alliance partner sites. The fellowships run for the 2000-2001 academic year.
Faculty Fellow awards are issued through NCSA's Campus Relations office, which
works to strengthen ties between the university community and NCSA. More
information is available at http://www.ncsa.uiuc.edu/campusrelations/.
