Texas A&M #extension
I wanted to reach out to you to let you know that we are aware of the difficulties regarding shutdown of the internet in Iran, and in particular, how this may affect students applying to graduate school here at Texas A&M. The College of Engineering Graduate Program office discussed this matter with all of the engineering department Graduate Program Office Directors and Advisors this past Wednesday afternoon.
Please note that all of our graduate program offices are willing to be flexible in working with students from Iran who may be adversely affected by the shutdown.
Graduate admission application deadlines vary by department/program, depend on the starting semester (Spring 2020, Fall 2020), and may be different for international and domestic (U.S.) students.
Two documents are attached with information that can be distributed as may be possible:
(1) A listing of the Engineering Graduate Program Advisors (with phone numbers included)
(2) A listing of application deadline details for engineering graduate programs.
Also, I have pasted in below an email that was recently distributed by Mr. Bill Taylor, Director, Texas A&M office of International Student Services, which contains a lot of helpful information.

#fund #position (part 1)
Several fully-funded #PhD positions are available at the Distributed, Intelligent, and Scalable COmputing (DISCO) Lab (http://www.drexel-disco.com), Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Drexel University, USA.
These positions are open for appointment from Fall, 2020 or sooner.
The research will focus on hardware (analog and mixed signal design) and software (programming language, compilers, and run-time resource allocation) for neuromorphic computing. The positions are related to large innovation projects from the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National Institute of Health (NIH). Research activities will be conducted in close collaboration with European Universities and institutions, and will include internships and visits to these organization, in each year of PhD.
Concretely, we are looking for applicants with a strong background and interest in one (or all) of the following:
NC0038: Compiler, Architecture, and Synthesis of Neuromorphic Architectures:
Executing a program on a computer involves several steps: compilation, resource allocation, and run-time mapping. Although very well defined for mainstream computers, no prior work has investigated these steps in a systematic manner for neuromorphic systems. This project will develop compiler tool chains to translate a user’s machine learning program to low-level languages that can be interpreted by neuromorphic systems. A key initiative will be to develop a common representation across different platforms. Resource optimization strategies will be developed to improve program performance; as well as an Operating System like framework that will allow programmers to easily deploy their machine learning programs on neuromorphic systems.
Required/desired skills: Familiarity with computer architectures, operating systems, object-oriented programming and data structures will be required. Familiarity or interest in compiler design will be helpful for the project.
NC0039: Design Optimizations with Non-Volatile Memory Technologies:
Non-volatile memory (NVM) technology can improve performance of the neuromorphic architecture, thanks to their low latency, low power, and high integration density. However, they present new challenges to the design of neuromorphic architecture. In particular, NVM operates as resistive memory with synaptic weights encoded as resistances. Neuron outputs are represented as voltage, computed using the weighted sum of the current times the resistance. This project will optimize the design of neuromorphic computing with non-volatile memory technologies, including understanding their electrical characteristics through SPICE-level simulations in scaled PDKs.
Required/desired skills: Some familiarity with analog and mixed signal designs, device-level, circuit-level or system-level modeling will be useful.

#fund #position (part 2)
part 1: t.me/UTApply/623
NC0040: Security of Neuromorphic Computing with Non-Volatile Memory Technologies:
This project will address the vulnerability of neuromorphic architectures to side-channel attacks, when used in internet-of-things and other similar computing paradigms. In particular, the project will involve design-technology co-optimization to make neuromorphic computing safe. Research will involve investigation on machine learning algorithms that are vulnerable to attacks, developing efficient solutions for implementation in hardware.
Required/desired skills: Some familiarity exposure in cryptography, machine learning, non-volatile memory (PCM, STT-MRAM, ReRAM, etc) is needed. Experience in device-level, circuit-level or system-level modeling will be useful.
Within these areas, the positions come with many freedoms in terms of the specific research direction, methodology, and approaches taking the specific project needs into consideration. Accordingly, in addition to the detailed CV, the applicant should provide a short cover letter which describes the applicant’s background, interests, and initial thoughts and ideas. These materials should be emailed to anup.das@drexel.edu with the project code in the subject line.
