Three Carnegie Mellon University researchers in the School of Computer Science recently earned Faculty Early Career Development Program (CAREER) awards from the National Science Foundation. The awards are the foundation's most prestigious for young faculty researchers. An assistant professor in the Computer Science and Electrical and Computer Engineering departments, Weina Wang received $500,000 to develop algorithms that guarantee ultra-low latency in edge computing, which supports emerging applications such as autonomous driving, augmented reality and automated mobile robots. This work will establish algorithms to optimize the time it takes for data to travel from one point to another and for the corresponding computation to be done without lag, even with a high volume of users in those systems. In addition to this research, Wang will also use the grant to continue expanding STEM outreach activities for K-12 students -- mentoring students from underrepresented groups, promoting the visibility of researchers from underrepresented groups and initiating online outreach seminars for the general public.
