This week it was announced that MIT professor Julian Shun has received a National Science Foundation Career Award, a prestigious award for junior faculty.
An assistant professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Shun received the award to go towards future work in parallel programming and graph processing. Specifically, his project will involve creating high-level programming frameworks to make it easier for non-experts to write high-performance parallel programs for graphs and hypergraphs dealing with static and streaming data.
