[TYPES/announce] Funded PhD positions available at Illinois Tech

[Stefan Muller]

I'm looking for PhD students to join me on one of several projects 
relating to programming languages, analysis tools and type systems for 
parallel, concurrent and high-performance computing. Projects my group 
is actively involved in include:
- Performance analysis and optimization for CUDA kernels
- Static analysis techniques to aid in heterogeneous computing 
frameworks for AI-enabled science
- Static analysis of the parallel dependency structure of code in order 
to aid reasoning and optimization

I'm also open to new projects along these general lines, according to 
the interest and experience of students.

I am looking for candidates with experience in type systems and some 
experience (or interest to learn) in parallel, concurrent or 
high-performance computing. Additional skills such as compiler building 
or use of proof assistants could be helpful on certain projects.

Illinois Tech is located a few minutes from downtown Chicago in the 
historic, diverse Bronzeville neighborhood and the location provides 
opportunities for connections with the community, including local high 
schools. Our high-performance computing group is among the top in the 
country and frequently collaborates with Argonne National Labs, just 
outside Chicago. Overall, this is an exciting place to be!

The application is here: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.iit.edu/admissions-aid/apply__;!!IBzWLUs!B2_0c-kPBuBiII5kJapTsnbFFu4jz2XvDKqHbzQkthOI3ELGF98KtM3R62T7xo2r0lMJYhuoFGNQRw$ . The 
official deadline is Jan. 31, but applications will be considered after 
that and the application is quite straightforward. If you're interested, 
do drop me an email since the applications all go into the same pool and 
I wouldn't want to miss any.

Let me know if you'd like more information, or see my website:
