Subject: 2014 Intel Fellowship (Due Noon, Feb 19)
From: "David O'Hallaron" <droh@cs.cmu.edu>

Dear SCS colleagues,

The Intel Fellowship is a prestigious fellowship for Ph.D.  students
offering the following terms: One-year award period, $45K tuition/stipend,
$5K travel stipend, opportunity for an internship at Intel. CMU is
permitted to nominate six candidates.

HOW THE PROCESS WILL WORK: Because of an internal reorg, Intel was very
late announcing the 2014 fellowship, so unfortunately the schedule is a bit
rushed. Faculty members (not students!) should send me their nomination
packets by Noon, Wed, Feb 19.  A committee of SCS faculty will evaluate the
submissions and produce a short rank-ordered list of SCS students. ECE will
conduct a similar process. Randy and Larry/Jelina will merge the SCS and
ECE lists and determine the final six CMU nominees.

WHAT INTEL IS INTERESTED IN: Intel is interested in a wide range of
hardware and software systems, semiconductor design, circuit design,
machine learning, and HCI. See the attached pdf for details. Previous CMU
winners include Anca Dragan and Yoongu Kim (2013), Michael Papamichael and
Da-Cheng Juan (2012), Michele Goodstein, Mark Palatucci, and Tunji Ruwase
(2010).

WHO IS ELIGIBLE: The award is available to students who have completed 24
months in the Ph.D program as of now. Previous winners are eligible.
Unfortunately, students from embargoed or controlled countries (such as
China, Iraq, Iran, Russia) are NOT eligible. India is OK. International
students need an F1 visa. A working relationship with an Intel researcher
is a huge plus.  Under-represented minorities (this does not include women)
do not count against the 6-student limit.

HOW FACULTY SHOULD NOMINATE THEIR STUDENTS: Email your nomination packet to
me by noon, Wed, Feb 19. The packet you send me must be complete, and it
must include the following three PDF files (late or incomplete packets
won't be considered):

1. Student vita (including citizenship)
2. Student research statement (5 page max)
3. Your nominating letter (if possible, mention Intel researchers the
student has worked with)

Thanks!
Dave
