Open House at the Intel Research Lab in Berkeley

 

Thursday March 6th, 2008 from 2:30 - 5:00pm

 

Come and meet some of Intel's top researchers when Intel's Berkeley Research Lab holds its annual open house on March 6th from 2:30pm-5:00pm. The lab is located just off the UC Berkeley campus at 2150 Shattuck Avenue (right across from the Berkeley Bart station) in the penthouse suite. The open house will include refreshments, demos of key research projects, and lots of posters and opportunities to meet students, faculty, and researchers.

Intel's Berkeley Lab is one of a small network of university labs started in 2001 with a mission to perform collaborative off-roadmap research with key academic institutions.  Most of the work in the lab is governed by a contract called the open collaborative research agreement to promote close cooperation between Intel and university staff. The lab currently houses 14 full-time Intel researchers and many students.

Some of our past work included early activity in sensor networks, the development of the Planet Lab distributed systems test bed, declarative distributed systems, and technology for emerging regions.   We will be talking about our current research in a 

variety of areas including:

  -     modernization of communication APIs for internet services

  -    writing scalable and correct programs for parallel computers

  -   developing new approaches to simplify secure distributed computing systems

  -    results of telemedicine deployments in Ghana

  -    mobile environmental sensing and cititizen action

  -    electrically steerable antennas

 -    building high-speed routers out of commodity  parts

-     presenting short films on sustainability

-  creating  efficient algorithms for everyday sensing and learning

I look forward to welcoming you on March 6th.


Best regards,

 

Eric Brewer
Director, Intel Research Berkeley
