Past Recipients

The Computer Science Alumni Fellowship is awarded annually to a Ph.D. candidate (or candidates), in the final year of study, allowing the student(s) to work full time on dissertation research. Generous contributions to the Alumni Trust Fund, made by alumni and friends of the Department of Computer Science, help to make this fellowship possible.

Current Fellowship Holder

Michele Weigle is the recipient of the 2002-2003 Computer Science Alumni Fellowship. Michele is working on a dissertation investigating the use of synchronized clocks to improve TCP congestion control, under the direction of Kevin Jeffay. Her research uses synchronized clocks at end systems to determine the exact one-way transit time (OTT) between the two hosts. Michele's goal is to use the OTTs obtained during a file transfer to detect and react to congestion before packet loss occurs. Her variant of TCP, called Sync-TCP, makes more efficient use of network resources and improves the overall performance of the Internet.
