Technology Leaders Point Us to the Future
Intel drives and participates in a wide array of education-related programs worldwide whose goals are to improve the quality of education and train students to be future technology leaders themselves. The Intel PhD Fellowship program focuses on research in Intel’s technical areas; Hardware Systems Technology and Design, Software Technology and Design, and Semiconductor Technology and Manufacturing. A total of 18 fellowships were awarded in 2012. This prestigious award recognizes winning students as being tops in their areas of research. Congratulations to all of our winners!
As part of this event, the 2012 U.S. Intel PhD Fellows were recognized and had the opportunity to share their research during a technical poster session. This year’s winners, who each received an Ultrabook™, are:
- Tamara Denning, University of Washington
- Da-Cheng Juan, Carnegie Mellon University
- Alexandra Lippman, University of California Irvine
