Our proximity to New York City yields numerous opportunities for internships, and our graduates accept jobs at some of the best-known names in the industry, including Google, Facebook, Microsoft, and IBM.
Shell programming is an essential component of modern computing infrastructure but is difficult to scale for modern computing environments and workloads. Greenberg and team will develop novel program analysis and transformation techniques to accelerate, optimize and scale out new and existing shell programs in a way that requires minimal, if any, user effort and no modifications to the shell, its programs or its components. Their methods will be evaluated on real-world shell programs across a variety of domains, including bioinformatics, data science, machine learning, software development automation and the cloud.
The team's research will allow the federal government, industry and open-source projects to cost-effectively leverage state-of-the-art computing infrastructure, while increasing safety, security and ease of maintainability.
Effective January 2024 through January 2026, the BPC plan seeks to improve diversity within the department through active recruiting and outreach efforts. In accordance with regional demographics, the plan focuses especially on increasing three historically underrepresented groups: women, Black and Hispanic students and faculty.
Additional goals include increasing academic, career and professional development activities and supports for historically underrepresented groups; exploring curricular and pedagogical changes to better support historically underrepresented students; and implementing processes for improving transparency, equity and addressing bias.
Since joining Stevens in 2012, Kleinberg has developed an international reputation as a leader in interdisciplinary work on causality, health and decision-making, as evidenced by 60 invited talks (21 international in nine countries), $8 million in funding as PI, two international collaborations, a best paper award, two books and an interdisciplinary edited volume. Her active research awards include three National Institute of Health grants and three National Science Foundation grants.
Her research uses computational methods to address problems in health, and it aims to advance human health by helping doctors and patients make better choices with data. In addition to the core impact on society, this has led to impact in other fields such as philosophy, psychology and biomedical sciences.
The Stevens team was selected in August 2023 as one of only five teams to compete in the final round of the university challenge competition, which focuses on creating a socialbot that easily and clearly chats with users on trending topics and news for 20 minutes.
