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.
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.
Kryder Awarded Singapore's Public Service Medal
University Professor Mark Kryder has received a Public Service Medal from the President of Singapore for helping them to establish the Data Storage Institute (DSI). Kryder is the founding director of the Data Storage Systems Center (DSSC) at Carnegie Mellon and retired CTO and VP of Research at Seagate. He has worked with the Singaporean government since 1991 in helping to establish the DSI and has taught multiple short courses there. He has been on the Scientific Advisory Board of the DSI since its inception and currently serves as Chairman.
Director's Notebook
Jimmy Zhu, Director
As we welcome the New Year, the Data Storage Systems Center at Carnegie Mellon University is entering its 25th year after her initial birth in 1983 as the Magnetic Technology Center (MTC). Seven years after graduating from the National Science Foundation Engineering Research Centers Program as the Center for Excellence in 2001, we are stronger than ever.
