"True leaders in this field will emerge only by rethinking current systems and developing new computational methods that address today's challenges," said Dr. Mark Allen, senior vice provost for Research and Innovation at Georgia Tech.

Since 2006 the statewide program led by the College of Computing has sought to broaden the computing education pipeline (particularly among underrepresented groups) through K-12 summer camps and workshops, computing workshops for Georgia’s K-12 teachers, and development of leadership and mentoring opportunities for undergraduates and graduate students.

Starting with a pilot group of 30 individuals, participants will enter a two-year program of instruction and classroom teaching experiences, and they will emerge with a Georgia teaching certification, complete with a computer science endorsement.

Mundie, who's served as Microsoft's chief research and strategy officer in 2006, stepped into some big shoes—many of his duties were formerly handled by Bill Gates.

Although Octa was already a junior and had been following the traditional curriculum when Threads was implemented, the new approach dovetailed almost perfectly with his interests and some courses he had already taken.

The pair developed Feedscrub, a clever tool to rescue RSS feed subscribers from information overload and unwanted posts. Feedscrub quickly learns from a user’s choices which items are welcome and which are not. Then it starts doing the work for you, filtering posts that are not likely to be of interest into a junk folder.

Vempala has a passion for taking theoretical concepts and working to find practical applications for them, and he has brought people from different fields together to solve problems and change lives. Shown here with his partner, Rosa Arriaga, Vempala is on his way to the top.

Now the challenge is in making sense of the mountains of data that are being gathered. That’s where Professor Haesun Park comes in. Park, one of the founding faculty members in the Computational Science and Engineering Division (CSE), is one of the top researchers in her fields: numerical computing and massive data analysis.
