ABSTRACT:

He will be talking about various programs at NSF CISE including core programs and cross cutting programs. For the benefit of junior faculty, I will be covering trends and tips in CAREER as well as CRII programs. For the core programs, the focus would be on Algorithmic Foundations and applied areas within the AF fold. We shall see how this program interfaces with Robust Intelligence for Machine Learning Theory,  with Engineering for topics related to Optimization, with Mathematics for topics related to Numerical Computing, with Biology and with Quantum Architecture.
