Fulbright Committee Participation
by Moira E Egan 08 Sep '16

08 Sep '16

Hello all. I hope you have had enjoyable and productive summers and that the new semester is beginning well for you. I have been enjoying working with our Fulbright applicants over the summer and am writing to ask for assistance with our campus evaluation committees. We have students applying for graduate school in Britain and Amsterdam (both interested in aspects of music) and to teach English in India, Malaysia, South Korea, Norway and Spain. Our campus deadline is tomorrow, and I would hope to get applications (consisting of biographical information, transcripts, three recommendations and two statements of 1-2 pages each) to reviewers by the middle of next week. Fulbright requires that each application the college submits includes a campus committee evaluation. We do this by meeting with the student to ask about the application and to give feedback for further revisions. Each meeting takes about an hour. We would need to complete all interviews by early October to give students the opportunity to make final revisions and to allow our office to complete the form each committee will discuss by Fulbright's October 11th deadline. If you are able to join us, could you please let me know how many applications you can review and tell me something about your availability to meet? Thanks very much for all you do for students. Best, Moira ~ Moira E. Egan, Ph.D. National Fellowships Advisor Office of Honors and Scholarships Rm. 23 Honors Hall Queens College, CUNY (718) 997-2863

Overview of MATLAB: This session will provide live demonstrations of the following: € Accessing data from many sources (files, other software, hardware, etc.) € Using interactive tools for iterative exploration, design, and problem solving € Automating and capturing work in easy-to-write scripts and programs € Sharing results with others by automatically creating reports Overview of Simulink: This session shows how Simulink can provide multi-domain simulation and Model-Based Design for dynamic and embedded systems. This session will provide demonstrations of the following: € Creating a new model from scratch € Using libraries of pre-defined blocks € Creating your own reusable sub-systems € Incorporating MATLAB code into Simulink models SEMINAR 2: September 15, 2016, 9:30 am 12:30 pm CUNY Advanced Science Research Center 85 St. Nicholas Terrace New York, NY 10031 5.210 Data Visualization Room, 5th Floor This free seminar is more advanced, intended for those with some experience with MATLAB/Simulink or those who attended the first seminar on September 13th. It will be especially helpful to those conducting research. The two topics covered in this session are: Machine Learning with MATLAB This session will explore the fundamentals of machine learning, a computational technique that takes data and produces a model to make predictions. Highlights include: € Accessing, exploring, analyzing, and visualizing data in MATLAB € Feature selection and feature transformation € Specifying cross-validation schemes € Training, evaluating and using many different machine learning models € Integrating trained models into applications such as computer vision, signal processing, and data analytics Optimizing and Accelerating your MATLAB Code This session will demonstrate simple ways to improve and optimize your code that can boost execution speed. It will also address common pitfalls in writing MATLAB code, explore the use of the MATLAB Profiler to find bottlenecks, and introduce programming constructs to solve computationally and data-intensive problems on multicore computers, clusters and GPUs. Specifically, this session will show: · Leveraging the power of vector and matrix operations in MATLAB · Identifying and addressing bottlenecks in your code · Converting MATLAB code to C/C++ using MATLAB Coder · Utilizing additional processing power available in multicore machines, clusters, and clouds Michelle C.
