Pre-Conference Notes
Abstract
Join us to learn about the numerous opportunities to engage with the National Science Foundation and other agencies. Permanent and rotator positions are regularly available for division directors, program directors, Einstein Fellows, AAAS Fellows and more. A number of NSF people will be available to talk about their work and why they choose to work at NSF, as well as answer attendee questions.
About the Panelists
Panelists: Doris L. Carver, Jan Cuny, Susanne E. Hambrusch, and Suzanne Westbrook (All panelists are from the National Science Foundation)
Jan Cuny has been a member of the computer science faculty at Purdue University, the University of Massachusetts, and the University of Oregon. Since 2004, she has been a Program Officer at the National Science Foundation, where she heads the Education workforce Cluster. Her primary interests are in education—especially K-12 education—and broadening participation in computing. She is currently working on NSF’s Computing Education for the 21st Century and Broadening Participation in Computing Alliance programs. For her efforts with underserved populations, she is a recipient of one of the 2006 ACM President’s Award, the 2007 CRA A. Nico Habermann Award, and the 2009 Anita Borg Institute’s Woman of Vision Award for Social Impact.
Doris Carver is a Program Director in the Division of Graduate Education at the NSF working with the Graduate Research Fellowship and IGERT programs. She is a Professor of Computer Science at Louisiana State University where she directs the Software Engineering Laboratory. She was Senior Associate Vice Chancellor of Research and Economic Development and Interim Vice Chancellor of Research and Economic Development at LSU. She is an IEEE Fellow and AAAS Fellow. Her BA in mathematics is from Carson Newman College, her MS in mathematics from the University of Tennessee, and her PhD in Computer Science from Texas A&M University.
Susanne Hambrusch is currently serving at NSF as the Director of the Division of Computing and Communication Foundation in CISE. She is on leave from Purdue where she is a professor of computer science and served as department head from 2002-07. Susanne holds a Diplom Ingenieur in Computer Science from the Technical University of Vienna, Austria, and a Ph.D. in CS from Penn State. Her research interests are in query and data management in mobile environments, parallel and distributed computation, analysis of algorithms, and computer science education. Before joining NSF, she served on the board of directors CRA and CRA-W.
Suzanne Westbrook is currently serving at NSF as a Program Director in the Division of Undergraduate Education in EHR. She is on leave from the University of Arizona where she is Associate Director of the School of Information: Science, Technology, and Arts. She previously served as Associate Head for the UA Computer Science Department. Her PhD is in CS from the University of Louisiana – Lafayette. Suzanne’s research interests are in computer science education and in ways to create interdisciplinary opportunities in computing in K-20. In 2009 she helped create the CSTA K-12 Computing Teachers Workshop held annually at Hopper.
