At #MichiganTech, cross-disciplinary collaboration is how we get it done! The Michigan Tech College of Computing and Michigan Tech College of Engineering are pleased to announce the inaugural Dave House Computational Innovation Fellowship, which seeks to bridge the disciplines of engineering and computing through deep, sustained research collaborations. This one-of-a-kind fellowship will support two years of funding for an incoming doctoral student co-advised on an awarded research project led by a pair of faculty members from each college. This year’s awarded faculty pair are Assistant Professor Tan Chen of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Assistant Professor Michael Walker of the Department of Computer Science for their research focused in human-robot interaction. Supported by Tech alumnus Dave House ’65 and the House Family Foundation, this fellowship is designed to recruit and support high-caliber doctoral students to build cross-college collaborations in support of computational innovation at Michigan Tech. “Collaboration and interdisciplinary research make Michigan Tech stronger,” said House. “The Colleges of Engineering and Computing have made great strides in working together, and it’s my hope that these fellowships will catalyze even more long-lasting partnerships.” Learn more:  https://lnkd.in/gw87iiju
