Candidate scheduling
by Ali R. Butt 19 Jan '21

19 Jan '21

Folks: I am as frustrated as you are re. the candidate scheduling process not going as smoothly as we had planned. I have raised the issue with Cal, who is working on it. FWIW, I see the following dates (added by Tabitha), so providing them here as a heads up for all of us. I assume them to be correct, but am working to get a confirmation. I hope it will be reflected in hosting.cs.vt.edu/facsearch ASAP as well. I’ll be back with an update by end of today. Visit Date Host Name 21-Jan Kirk Chris Brown 22-Jan DSN Liting Hu 25-Jan Doug Toby Li 26-Jan Chris Huda Khayrallah 27-Jan Murali Jose Lugo-Martinez 29-Jan Matt Ivan De Oliveira Nunes 2-Feb DSN Ahmed Saeed 3-Feb Chris Jonathan Kummerfeld 4-Feb Doug Yalong Yang 8-Feb Chris Dawei Zhou 10-Feb Chris Xueru Zhang 12-Feb Doug Mayara Costa Figueiredo 15-Feb Chris Huajie Shao 16-Feb Doug Hariharan Subramonyam 18-Feb Chris Jyun-Yu Jiang 19-Feb Kirk Peng Gao TBD Matt Dan Williams Thanks, -ali

Weekly search status and update
by Ali R. Butt 11 Jan '21

11 Jan '21

Good morning: Thank you all for continuing to evaluate the incoming applications. There are 97 applications submitted as of 11/29. I have reviewed them all and have added about half of them to the evaluation googlesheet. There are ~38 applications that need your attention. I suggest catching up on those by the end of the week if not earlier. The number is likely to pick up faster in the coming weeks. Since, there are a lot more Data/AI/ML/NLP applications than others, I suggest Chris/Anuj/Hoda distribute them among themselves. Thank you, -ali Application evaluation spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1A1mPyUZJcK7FMeNjzyt5UgdU2HZj4oPAveC… Process: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rYguTyS1xVFYZwjrfWOksCXxLtt4cNwE5N5pZiV…
