Research Opportunities in the CCL
Come join the CCL team!
We currently have the following open jobs.
If interested, make an appointment to talk with Prof. Thain by emailing dthain at nd dot edu or stopping by Fitzpatrick 382 to talk. Prospective students should have good
programming skills and strong grades in CSE classes.
Undergraduate Research Assistants
We have openings fors at least four students this semester. Undergraduates may participate in research in one of three ways:
Register for research credits as a class.
Work full-time during the summer in a research experience.
Current topics of research include:
Web Portals for Scientific Computing. Science of all kinds -- physics, biology,
sociology, you name it -- in increasingly done on computers.
Help to advance scientific discovery by applying web technologies
to that make it easy to harness clouds and grids at the touch of a button.
Contribute to our various science portals, including Biocompute,
and BXGrid. Some experience with web technologies like PHP and MySQL would be helpful.
Green Cloud Computing. Help to build the software and systems that drive
the Notre Dame Green Cloud,
a novel data center that reduces cost by using
computers to heat the South Bend Greenhouse. We need students to work on building
cloud services, deploying cloud applications, and measuring and managing energy.
Some experience with installing and managing Linux operating systems and virtual machines would be helpful.
Languages and Environments for Distributed Computing.
You know how to write a program that runs on one computer,
but how to you write a program that harnesses thousands?
Using conventional languages, it isn't easy at all.
Help us to design new abstractions and languages
for distributed computing that make it easy to go distributed without a heroic effort.
Experience with C and systems programming would be helpful.
