Carnegie Mellon's Onur Mutlu Receives NSF Career Award For Creating High-Performance Memory Systems
Carnegie Mellon University's Onur Mutlu has received a five-year, $549,306 grant from the National Science Foundation to develop the architecture for creating high-performance and secure memory systems.
"I am extremely pleased with this grant which will give me increased resources to continue developing robust systems for a variety of important computer memory systems," said Mutlu, an assistant professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Carnegie Mellon.
Mutlu is designing novel and efficient hardware and software techniques to overcome fundamental performance, security, robustness, reliability and efficiency challenges in current and future computer systems.
"This is a wonderful recognition for an outstanding young researcher such as Onur," said Ed Schlesinger, the David Edward Schramm Memorial Professor and head of Carnegie Mellon's Electrical and Computer Engineering Department. "The vitality of our nation depends on secure and robust computer systems, and we are fortunate to have the talent and the commitment to ensure that our cyber infrastructure provides the highest level of performance while ensuring its safety and security."
More than a decade after digital piracy began its attacks on industries like music and publishing, corporate leaders report losses in the millions. Some corporations even report that digital piracy may hurt future investment in research and development of new products and services for consumers.
"My work is designed to help develop systems that will improve the important interface between hardware and software and other areas that may be vulnerable to digital piracy or other critical hacker attacks," Mutlu said.
Mutlu received a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering in 2000 from the University of Michigan, and a master's degree in 2002 and a Ph.D. in 2006 in computer science from the University of Texas at Austin.
