Program Introduction:

Starting January 08, Professor Frans Kaashoek of MIT (http://pdos.csail.mit.edu/~kaashoek/) will visit Microsoft Research Asia (MSRA) and Tsinghua University for 6 months. Prof. Kaashoek is best known for his pioneer research work in distributed systems and networking. Dr. Kaashoek is the recipient of numerous awards, including the inaugural ACM SIGOPS Mark Weiser award, and he is also a member of the National Academy of Engineering. During the visiting in MSRA, Prof. Kaashoek’s visit will be hosted by the System and Networking Area, which includes System Research Group (http://research.microsoft.com/sr/) and Wireless and Networking Group (http://research.microsoft.com/wn/ ).

In conjunction of Prof. Kaashoek’s visit, MSRA’s System and Network Area will prepare a special “bluechip” intern program. Students will be paired up and work directly under Prof. Kaashoek’s mentorship. This program is an outstanding training and learning opportunity and is highly selective. We seek the brightest young talents who have high passion on challenging research problems in the general areas of computer and networking systems.
