About the DSSC
The Data Storage Systems Center (DSSC) at Carnegie Mellon University is an interdisciplinary research and educational organization whose mission is to advance information storage technologies. Faculty and students from a wide range of disciplines at Carnegie Mellon are developing the fundamental understanding of the science and advanced engineering methods required for future generations of information storage systems.
The DSSC is a collaborative effort between several Carnegie Mellon departments:

DSSC Spring Review Draws Over 100 Participants
Carnegie Mellon's Data Storage Systems Center (DSSC) hosted their spring technical review last week. The agenda featured sessions in hard disk drive mechanics, novel material development, controls and tribology, materials, nanofabrication and devices, and signal processing and circuits. In addition, the DSSC held a special session as part of this Review that explored opportunities in solid state disk and alternative data storage technologies.
IDEMA Symposium Features Two DSSC Professors
Professors Mark Kryder and Jimmy Zhu of DSSC, gave the opening and closing talks, respectively, at the recent IDEMA (Industrial Disk Drive Equipment and Materials Association) Symposium "Beyond 1 Tbits/in2".
NSF Honors DSSC as Graduated ERC
For the past 57 years the National Science Foundation's (NSF) goal has been to "promote the progress of science" and for over two decades they have been doing so with projects like the Engineering Research Centers Program. The ERC Program funds research centers in U.S. Universities, fostering government/industry/university partnerships and strengthening the position of U.S. firms in the world.
James Williams Rejoins DSSC
Like the swallows of San Juan Capistrano, the former Deputy Director of the DSSC has come home, at least on a part-time basis.
In his new position, as Director of Technology Transfer, Jim will be helping us continue to ensure that our research programs and technology development activities are relevant to the needs of our industrial partners and that industry benefits directly from these efforts.
