Feb. 20 Campus Deadline for Intel PhD Fellowship Program Applications

The Intel PhD Fellowship Program supports outstanding doctoral students in computer science, engineering, social science, human-centered & interaction design, and other fields focusing on semiconductor and computing technologies.

The fellowship offers a $45,000 cash award ($33,000 stipend plus a $12,000 cost-of-education allowance), a $5,000 grant for travel to Intel, assignment to an Intel mentor, and priority consideration for internship and hiring opportunities within the company.

This year’s program supports research in the following areas: -- Applications, Programming, and New Usage Models: Future Workloads and Applications, Security, Internet of Things, Pervasive Computing, Big Data and Analytics, Machine Learning, Parallel Programming, Web Programming, Human Computer Interaction, Wearables and Ethnography.

-- Computing Leadership: Architecture, Energy Efficient Computing, SoC, Communications, Embedded Systems, Heterogeneous Computing, Visual Computing, Cloud Computing, Mobile Platforms, Nanotechnology, Circuit Design, and CAD.

-- Semiconductor Innovation: Beyond CMOS devices and architectures; Bio inspired new device and architecture for future computation and memory; Bottoms up, self-aware fabrication for package interconnects and substrates; Compliant/Flexible non-fatiguing interconnects; and Novel devices/architectures for power neutral systems.

To be eligible, an applicant must:

-- have completed at least 24 months in the PhD program,

-- be a US citizen, legal permanent resident, or H1-B visa holder,

-- not be a citizen of an embargoed or controlled country

Each department may nominate six students, and nominations are due in the Graduate College by 4:00 p.m. on February 20, 2014.
