December 6, 2015Jacobs School Staff Retreat9 Opportunities CSE has many opportunities outside the classroom l Lab and teaching assistanceships u Undergrads assist in many of our courses u Great way to learn, interact closely with faculty l Research opportunities u Projects with graduate students and faculty u Key opportunity of a research university u CSE, San Diego Supercomputer Center, California Institute of Telecommunications and Information Technology (Cal(IT) 2 ), Center for Wireless Communications, etc.

December 6, 2015Jacobs School Staff Retreat10 Programming Contest l Programming contests foster community among students l Local UCSD contests u Sponsored by the Dini Group, a local company u Prizes for top students l ACM Collegiate Programming Contests u 1 st -3 rd place in SoCal region u In World Finals past 4 years

December 6, 2015Jacobs School Staff Retreat11 CSE Research at UCSD l Fundamental research u In all classic areas of computer science u With particular specialties »Bioinformatics, networking, high-performance computing, etc. u Theoretical and applied, often both l Research that impacts the world we live in l Will highlight research by a few CSE faculty u Recall that we have 46 faculty u No time to cover all of the exciting research going on… u And keep in mind that this is work that we do with our graduate students!

December 6, 2015Jacobs School Staff Retreat12 Internet Routing George Varghese l Internet is a vast network glued together using routers l Every packet you send traverses Internet routers u Routers look at your packets and decide where to send them l Problem: millions of users, billions of billions of packets u Routers need to be efficient and fast l George has invented numerous algorithms for routers u Used by all major router companies (Cisco, Juniper, etc.) l Every time use you use the Web, George’s algorithms direct your packets

December 6, 2015Jacobs School Staff Retreat13 Secure Internet E-Commerce Mihir Bellare l Cryptography is the science of secure protocol design u Authentication (are you who you say you are?) u Encryption (how do I protect my data?) l Mihir develops cryptographic algorithms that are u Highly secure u Efficient to implement and use in practice l SSL, the standard security protocol for the Web, uses cryptographic algorithms Mihir developed l Every time you purchase something on the Web, Mihir’s algorithms are protecting your purchase

December 6, 2015Jacobs School Staff Retreat14 Realistic Image Synthesis l Create images that appear realistic u Entertainment: Movies, games, etc. u Physical models: Fire, smoke, clouds, marble, liquids u Architecture: Visualize before building l New technique for modeling light and its interaction with materials u Photon mapping u Now standard technique in state-of- the-art rendering packages Henrik Wann Jensen

December 6, 2015Jacobs School Staff Retreat15 Internet DoS and Worms Stefan Savage, Geoff Voelker l Malicious behavior on the Internet u Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks and Internet Worms l You have probably heard of these events u CodeRed, Slammer, Blaster, SoBig, etc. u Or even experienced them yourself! l It is even a challenge measuring these events globally u Much less preventing or mitigating them l First to measure global Internet DoS and Worm Internet activity u Working on methods for mitigating their impact on the Internet

December 6, 2015Jacobs School Staff Retreat16 CSE is Changing l CSE has undergone, and is undergoing, a lot of change u When I started in 2000, there were just 29 faculty l This has been a source of excitement and achievement u CSE has improved US News ranking every year past 5 years l And we’re continuing to grow and change l Visit us soon in the new building! u Located in other engineering
