The Dept. of Computer Science and Engineering proudly congratulates David Fuhry, Ph.D. candidate, for receiving a 2013 National Science Foundation East Asia and Pacific Summer Institutes for U.S. Graduate Students. This program provides science and engineering grad students first-hand research experience in Australia, China, Japan, Korea, or Taiwan, giving them an introduction to the science and science policy infrastructure of the respective location, and orientation to the culture and language. David will be spending his summer in Singapore.
Fuhry says of this experience, "My host Ee-Peng Lim of Singapore Management University and I will be collaborating on improving models of information networks, in particular of finding, characterizing, and understanding communities of users in large, dynamic social networks using available content, location, time and relationship information. We plan to address both analysis and systems challenges, building on both my host's lab's work and the work that my advisor Srini Parthasarathy, colleagues, and I have been doing at OSU-CSE in the Data Mining Lab."
David's adviser is Dr. Srinivasan Parthasarathy. He received a Master of Science degree in 2008 at Kent State University where he also earned a Bachelors of Science, graduating Cum Laude.
