This fellowship is made possible by the generous financial support from Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), Inc. with the objective of promoting advanced research and education in Generative Artificial Intelligence for use in the design of computer architecture, high performance computing, and very large scale integrated (VLSI) circuits and systems or in the acceleration of Generative or other Artificial Intelligence algorithms such as Inference and Training, for use in such systems. The applications are sought from incoming and current graduate students in ECE department with an interest to pursue a master’s degree (with thesis) or Ph.D. in computer engineering. Therefore, the applicants are expected to have already identified a thesis advisor who is a member of the ECE faculty. The recipient will receive full tuition coverage in addition to $35K of stipend for one year.
