Computer Science Alumnus Wins Postdoc Fellowship
Greg Bronevetsky, a 1999 TCNJ graduate who majored
in computer science, has
received the Lawrence Fellowship at the Lawrence Livermore National
Laboratory
in California. The Lawrence Fellowship is the most prestigious post-doctoral
fellowship offered by the national laboratories. Many resources
and complete freedom for three years of work on any research topic
chosen by the fellow is unique to this fellowship. The purpose of
the fellowship is to pursue cutting-edge science and stimulate cross-fertilization
of ideas.
Greg is currently finishing his doctoral thesis at Cornell University.
His work
focuses on fault tolerance techniques for high-performance computers,
making it very applicable to Livermore, the home of the world's
largest supercomputers. Regarding the interview for the fellowship,
Greg said "It was a very busy 2-day interview but I got to
learn about the lab and managed to get myself signed up to give
talks at Berkeley and Stanford....(This is a) 3 year postdoc, funded
by the lab itself, which pays almost as much as a regular position,
but since it's not attached to any given group, I have full freedom
about what I want to do."
