Keynote: The Computing and Information Science and Engineering Landscape: A Look Forward
Organizer: MargXiaobo Sharon Huaret Martonosi
Speaker: Margaret Martonosi
Description: The United States National Science Foundation (NSF) supports a majority of US academic research in the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) topic areas. A long-time computing researcher herself, Dr. Margaret Martonosi is now serving a 4-year term leading the NSF CISE Directorate, and 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. In this talk, she will discuss key technical themes for the field, and how CISE is developing programmatic opportunities to advance research related to them. She will particularly note how ESWEEK topic areas relate to these technical priorities. More broadly, she will discuss CISE and NSF in the context of the global research efforts, and our approach to industry and international research partnerships.
