I’m very excited to announce that Yejin Choi, currently Assistant Professor at SUNY Stony Brook, will be joining CSE this fall. Yejin is a rising star in the area of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and will have a huge impact on our NLP research. She received her PhD in Computer Science from Cornell University and her BS in Computer Science and Engineering from Seoul National University.

Yejin is thrilled to be returning to Seattle, having spent three years at Microsoft before her graduate work!

New hire made in CSE

to Cs-Ugrads, vgrads

I’m very excited to announce that Franzi Roesner, a superstar PhD student of Yoshi Kohno’s in computer security, has just accepted a faculty position in CSE. This was our top priority area this year and Franzi was clearly a top candidate nationally in security, with interviews and offers from many of the best departments. We’re thrilled that she’s decided to stay with us, which will strengthen our research and teaching in computer security in the future.

cheers,

hank

Instructional home directory migration Wed 18-Sep 10AM – 10PM

John Petersen <jrp@cs.washington.edu>

4:47 PM (22 hours ago)

to au-instructors, cs-ugrads, cs-pmp

All instructional home directories will be migrated to a new file server
tomorrow between the hours of 10 AM – 10 PM. We hope that the entire 12
hour window will not be needed. The following resources will be
unavailable during the migration.

– The attu cluster.
– Instructional project servers.
– Instructional labs.

/cse/courses and the instructional web will be unaffected by this
migration, but will only be available to those with research accounts
during the migration.

Thanks,
–John

Firedrill today – notes

Tracy Erbeck

2:01 PM (27 minutes ago)

to cs-staff, faculty, visitors, cs-grads, cs-ugrads

Thanks for exiting (most of you) during the alarm drill. We were timed at 8 minutes. That’s not too bad, and had this been a real emergency, I’m certain it would have been faster.

We received an “A” for the drill with a few observations for next time, my comments in bold:

1. Try to use the enclosed stairwells instead of the main Atrium stairway. However, you should exit where it is safe and convenient, so if that is the Atrium stairway, I say take it.

2. Keep the fire hydrant area clear (had we not known this was a drill, I am certain that the Support staff would have found elsewhere to congregate)

Many of you reported that the fire doors did not shut- I was just informed that this was by design for today’s drill. Thank you for letting me know!

**this will be the ONLY planned drill for 2013/2014 academic year. Should the alarm engage again, please assume that it is an emergency and exit the building immediately.

Thank you for your participation in today’s drill. Who ate all the cookies?
