Rutgers SAS MPS Lecture with Dr. Margaret Martonosi (NSF CISE, Princeton University)

Title: Overview of NSF CISE: Vision and Investments in Research, Education, Workforce and Infrastructure 

Mathematical and Physical Sciences Divisional Dean Thu D. Nguyen is excited to host Dr. Margaret Martonosi, Assistant Director of the US National Science Foundation (NSF) for Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) and Hugh Trumbull Adams '35 Professor of Computer Science at Princeton University.

Talk Abstract: The National Science Foundation (NSF) supports a majority of US academic research in the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) topic areas.  Since February, 2020, Dr. Margaret Martonosi serves as NSF CISE AD, stewarding the CISE directorate’s $1B annual budget on behalf of research, education, workforce and infrastructure funding in CISE topic areas and for science as a whole.  Martonosi’s talk will present an overview of CISE investments including both technical visions for the field, as well as thoughts on priorities for advancing that vision.  Of particular importance are the people issues: Who will we engage in advancing CISE into the future? Martonosi will discuss CISE and NSF investments in broadening participation in computing, from K-12 to senior career stages.  Please join us for this highly-interactive session and please bring your input and questions!
