“Our research cannot reach its full potential for societal benefits if we are missing out on the ideas and intellect of a majority of our Nation’s population. Through BPCnet, the full CISE research population will together move the needle on these issues by plugging into long-term departmental plans and community expertise.”
– Margaret Martonosi, Hugh Trumbull Adams ’35 Professor of Computer Science, Princeton University (former NSF CISE AD)
