The CISE Reorganization and New Funding Opportunities
Abstract: CISE is going through re-organization. As a result, there will be many changes. I will talk about the new divisions and some new (and not so new) funding opportunities - ITR, Cyberinfrastructure, Science of Learning Center, Bioinformatics, Biologically Motivated Computational Models ...
Biography: Mitra Basu completed her doctoral dissertation work under the guidance of the Late Professor K. S. Fu in the area of pattern recognition and image processing at Purdue University. Since then she has been with the Electrical Engineering Department of the City College of the City University of New York. She holds joint appointments with the Doctoral Faculty of Computer Science and the New York Center for Biomedical Engineering.
Dr. Basu's research interests are in bioinformatics, biologically inspired computing and related pattern recognition. She has published in refereed journals and international conferences in the area. Currently, she is editing a Special Issue on Grammatical Inference Techniques for Pattern Recognition Journal (publication date: April, 2004) and co-editing a Special Issue on Syntactic and Structural Pattern Recognition for IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence (publication date: July, 2005). Dr. Basu is on loan to the National Science Foundation where she is a Program Director in the EIA division of CISE. At NSF, Dr. Basu created a new program on biologically motivated computational models, which she currently manages.
