Zhu becomes the fifth NSF CAREER recipient in the department
Dakai Zhu, an assistant professor in UTSA's Department of Computer Science has recently become a recipient of a prestigious National Science Foundation (NSF) Early Career Development (CAREER) award. The five-year, $400K grant will support Dr. Zhu's research project which will design and develop an "Integrated Scheduling Framework for Multicore Based Real-Time Embedded Systems." Dr. Zhu's broader research program is also supported by a recently awarded $453K collaborative NSF grant.
The CAREER is the NSF's most prestigious award for junior faculty and is awarded to faculty members who embody the role of teacher-scholar by integrating outstanding research with excellence as an educator within the context of their institution. CAREER awards support integrated research and educational activities that serve as foundation for a lifelong career of teaching and scholarship.
Dr. Zhu is now one of seven recipients of current NSF CAREER awards at UTSA and the fifth in the Department of Computer Science. In 2009, Jeffery von Ronne received a CAREER award, to study the analysis of dynamically extensible software. Qing Yi received a CAREER award in 2008 to develop a multilayer code synthesis framework. In 2007, Carola Wenk received a CAREER award to study geometric shape handling. And Daniel Jiménez received a CAREER award to support his research on branch prediction in 2006.
