PIRE Summer 2008 Trips
May 2008  Eighteen PIRE participants are performing hands-on research in cyberinfrastructure enablement at our partner institutions in the Summer of 2008. Nine FIU students and nine FAU students are engaged in collaborations with Tsinghua University and IBM's China Research Laboratory in Beijing, IBM's India Research Laboratory in New Delhi, the University Nacional de La Plata in Argentina, the Barcelona Supercomputing Center and Universitat Politènica de Catalunya in Spain, and the Universidad de Guadalajara in Mexico. Full details of their collaborators and research projects can be found at the Students link above. Follow along with details of their trips and their research at the Blogs link above. Cultural and Language Training Program
Feb. 2008 The 2008-2009 PIRE participants met on Feb. 2nd, 2008 for the first session of the FIU/FAU PIRE Cultural and Language Training Program. Dr. Yi Deng, the PIRE Principal Investigator, welcomed the students and explained the research aspects of the program. Wendy Lo, of FIU's Institute for Asian Studies, provided an overview of the Cultural and Language training program and introduced the instructors who will lead a series of sessions that will provide the PIRE participants who will travel to Argentina, China, India, Mexico, and Spain during 2008-2009 with an overview of the culture, customs, and language of their destination. Students received in-depth travel instructions from Liza Carbajo, Director of FIU Office of Education Abroad, on topics including safety, financial arrangements & budgeting, and travel documents. Pictured below are attending FIU/FAU PIs, instructors, staff coordinators, and the PIRE participants.  PIRE 2008-2009 Student Participant Status
Jan. 2008. The PIRE Executive Committee, led by Dr. Yi Deng, completed the selection of the 2008-2009 PIRE student researchers. We received 68 competitive applications at FIU and FAU, among which we could only select 27 applications for PIRE in 2008-2009. We encourage you to visit our website for updates concerning our research activities and for the next round of student participation calls. If you are planning to apply for PIRE 2009-2010 and do not have a PIRE advisor, please select one from the list of PIRE Faculty members at FIU or FAU (see the "People" tab above for their names and follow the links there for their research interests). Working with them on a project related to the core research theme of PIRE, Cyberinfrastructure Application Enablement (see http://pire.fiu.edu/poster.pdf), will help to increase your chances of becoming a PIRE Student Participant in 2009-2010. Thank you very much for being interested in the PIRE program. We certainly look forward to receiving your application for PIRE 2009-2010. Invited Talks
