Spotlight: Sangyeun Cho, Associate Professor

Congratulations to our Associate Professor, Sangyeun Cho, for being selected for the 12th annual Provost’s Advisory Council on Instructional Excellence (ACIE) innovation in education awards program for his project Cracking Personal Supercomputing. ACIE identifies proposals that show promise for introducing innovative approaches to teaching that can be adapted for use in other courses. Dr. Cho is one of only eight recipients of the 2011 award.

Dr. Cho's award winning ACIE project on Cracking Personal Supercomputing will convert an existing computer lab into a personal supercomputer lab and develop programming projects to facilitate students' learning of parallel programming techniques.

The awards, instituted in 2000 by Provost James V. Maher, encourage instructional innovation and teaching excellence. Council Chair Andrew Blair, vice provost for faculty affairs, said the council seeks to identify high-quality proposals that give promise of introducing innovative, creative approaches to teaching that can be adapted for use in other courses. Ten Computer Science faculty members have received the ACIE award during the twelve-year history of the awards. Sangyeun Cho has been awarded this honor along with Jingtao Wang (2011), Liz Marai (2009), Ahmed Amer (2007), Alexandros Labrinidis (2007), Daniel Mossé (2007), George Novacky (2004), Patchrawat Uthaisombut (2004), Yasir Khalifa (2004), and Jose Brustoloni (2003).

You can find more information about Dr. Cho's research projects from his personal web page.
