Dr. Bina Ramamurthy was one of
the early adopters of the grid computing into the CSE curriculum
and her effort
Project
GridFoRCE (Grid For
Research, Collaboration and Education) was supported
NSF-DUE-CCLI-0311473
(2003-2006) approx. 150K.
A distributed
systems
course (CSE4/586) was introduced into the CSE curriculum and it
has become a core course.
She was awarded an NSF grant to support a newly (2006) created
Embedded and Realtime systems course (CSE321) by a grant
NSF-DUE-CCLI-0727243 (2007-2008) approx. $75K. This Project
Nexos (Next Generation Embedded Operating Systems)
is
in collaboration with
Dr.
Dennis Brylow of Marquette University. It is based
on the famous XINU operating systems by
Doug
Comer of Purdue University.
She is the PI on a grant for data-intensive computing curriculum
development NSF-DUE-CCLI-0920335
(2009-2013)
approx. 250K.
A SUNY-wide
certificate
program in data-intensive computing has been
designed and is pending approval from SUNY central.
This
Project TIDE
(Timely Introduction of Emerging Data-intensive computing) was
instrumental in adding a new course
Data-intensive
Computing (CSE4/587) to the CSE curriculum at
Buffalo. This course deals with
data-intensive computing, BigData and cloud computing.
Dr. Ramamurthy (PI) recently received an NSF grant for
inter-disciplinary research Project POP!World (CI-TEAM
Demonstration
Project:
A
Cloud-enabled Evolutionary Genetics Learning Tool for Engaging
the Net-Savvy Generation) NSF-OCI-CITEAM 1041280
(2010-2013)
approx. 250K. This is in collaboration with Dr. Jessica Poulin
and
Dr.
Katharina
Dittmar De la Cruz of
Biological
Sciences department.

Outreach:
CSEUGA (Computer Science and Engineering Undergraduate
Association): Faculty mentor for this student club.
- Gaskill
Middle School (Science
Club): This is a NY public middle school in the Niagara County. Dr. Bina Ramamurthy visits
- the school periodically and presents activities for students
with the goal of encouraging them to pursue
STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) studies
and careers. With the help of a
small donation from
Northrop Grumman
Corporation we are also able to procure some basic science
kits to the school’s science labs.
The donation is through UB Foundation and the coordinator is Ms.
Melanie Bunch who also participates in the events.
Photos from event on October 12, 2010.
- Dr. Jessica Poulin, Dr.
Bina Ramamurthy and a CSUGS student Mike visited Gaskill and
spent some time with the students.
- We also demoed PopWorld evolutionary Biology tool, that was
well received.
BEAM (Buffalo-area
Engineering Awareness for Minorities Inc): A summer enrichment
program for high school students.
Bina has involved at one or two BEAM students in her research for
the past 10 years and has taken an active role in the
final project presentations by the student on completion of the
program.
CSTEP (Collegiate
Science and Technology Entry Program): faculty mentor for
under-represented minority students for
more than 10 years.
Summer 2011 Student: Damian
Ogbonna (A CEN major: Sophomore)
NSBE: (National Society
of Black Engineers) Have been a panelist at local NSBE chapter
