released May 21, 2002

The National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) has chosen eight faculty members at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign to participate in the 2002-2003 NCSA/UIUC Faculty Fellows program.

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 2002-2003 academic year.

The Faculty Fellows Program, directed by Radha Nandkumar, is in its fourth year and awards are issued through NCSA's Campus Relations office. The office works to strengthen ties between the university research community and NCSA. More information is available at http://www.ncsa.uiuc.edu/Divisions/DirOffice/CampusRelations/.
