A couple of weeks ago, Jacobs School undergraduates put on a huge engineering job fair called DECaF. More than 70 companies came to campus to recruit engineering students from the Jacobs School. Watch the video below for a glimpse of the event, and/or read the Web story running here.

Alex Snoeren Snags Sloan Research Fellowship
Congratulations to computer science professor Alex Snoeren. Alex was awarded a 2009 Sloan Research Fellowship today, Feb 17 2009. You can read the press release from the Sloan Foundation here.
The full list of 2009 Sloan Research Fellows is here.
We have profiled Snoeren's research a couple of times in the last few years. His research took center stage in a story covering the winter 2007 Center for Networked Systems (CNS) Research Review.
In summer 2007, Snoeren and grad student published an award winning paper in SIGCOMM focused on controlling bandwidth in the clouds. A profile of that work is here.
Snoeren is in good company, when it comes to computer scientists from the Jacobs School winning Sloan Research Fellowships. Check out the list below:
Russell Impagliazzo (1994)
Daniele Micciancio (2003)
Amin Vahdat (2003)
Henrik Wann Jensen (2004)
Stefan Savage (2004)
Serge Belongie (2005)
Alin Deutsch (2006)
YY Zhou (2007) ...move to UC San Diego in progress

Amped about Amplifiers
San Diego is amped about amplifiers lately. Electrical engineering assistant professor James Buckwalter published a ground breaking paper outlining the silicon-baled millimeter wave amplifier he invented that provides both high gain and high bandwidth.
The story of Buckwalter's Cascaded Constructive Wave Amplifier has been making the rounds on the tech Web sites, including NetworkWorld, and a tech Web site from China. Unfortunately, I can't read the Chinese news story, but the advertisement on the right side of the page for "iPhone earrings" is pretty cool.

Sultry Soul: A Computer Science Grad Student's Music Life
Tonight, at San Diego's Beauty Bar, the bar will live up to it's name, thanks to the vocal beauty produced by Carolina Galleguillos, a computer science graduate student in Serge Belongie's Computer Vision Laboratory.
Carolina is one half of the musical act Juna, which describes itself as a collision of two dreams. "Juna is an explosion of exceptional personalities, wisdom and mysteriousness --with a hint of peaceful obscurity and a communion of sound and consciousness."
Not sure what all that means? Don't worry. You can either listen to the music online or check them out (no cover!) tonight at Beauty Bar in San Diego. The show starts at 10:30 PM.
I'll see you there!
The UC San Diego student newspaper, The Guardian, ran a profile in today's paper.
