COMPUTING AND ENGINEERING

对计算和工程核心的评价非常积极，指出它对 用户数量庞大。然而，简历指出，缺乏优先使用资源的计划， 以及缺乏关于创新系列讲座的细节。此外，总结说明 对招聘合格工程师的能力感到担忧。我们已经解决了每一项关切。 首先，我们很高兴聘请了Thomas Lu博士担任核心工程师。陆医生有一种 约翰霍普金斯大学的工程学学位和听觉神经生理学博士学位。他目前是一名 曾范刚博士为博士后，在心理物理学、耳蜗学方面接受过广泛的培训 植入物和DSP编程。他的背景和兴趣非常适合这个职位。 第二，由卢博士和两名用户组成的咨询委员会将协助核心主任 确定优先事项，包括在季度会议期间评估新请求和用户反馈。 P30主任和执行委员会将为确定优先事项和评价提供指导 资源的利用。对于计算和工程核心，优先级将由两个因素决定 指导原则：(1)相关性和(2)广泛影响。“相关性”原则将给予最高 优先考虑符合本P30申请资格的R01项目，第二优先于其他联邦资助的项目 NIDCD任务区的项目(R03、NSF)，随后是其他赠款(例如，内部校园 资金)。“广泛影响”原则将优先考虑最佳服务的软件和硬件设计。 在考虑有效利用核心资源和时间的同时，最大用户数。 最后，我们提供了系列讲座的教学大纲和其他细节。英语。298：听觉 理工科)。该课程将由曾博士和卢博士每年联合授课。

Reviews of the Computing and Engineering Core were strongly positive, noting its usefulness for a large number of users. However, the resume cites the lack of a plan to prioritize use of resources, and the lack of details regarding the innovative lecture series. In addition, the summary notes concern over the ability to recruit a qualified engineer. We have addressed each concern. First, we are pleased to have recruited Dr. Thomas Lu to be the Core engineer. Dr. Lu has an engineering degree and a Ph.D. in auditory neurophysiology from Johns Hopkins. He currently is a postdoctoral fellow with Dr. Fan-Gang Zeng and has extensive training in psychophysics, cochlear implants, and DSP programming. His background and interests are ideal for this position. Second, an Advisory Committee consisting of Dr. Lu and two users will assist the Core director in setting priorities, including evaluating new requests and user feedback, during quarterly meetings. The P30 Director and Executive Committee will provide guidance for setting priorities and evaluating use of resources. For the Computing and Engineering Core, priority will be determined by two guiding principles: (1) relevance and (2) broad impact. The "relevance" principle will give the highest priority to the R01 projects that qualify the present P30 application, second priority to other Federallyfunded projects (RO3, NSF) in NIDCD mission areas, followed by other grants (e.g., internal campus funds). The "broad impact" principle will give priority to software and hardware design that best serves the maximum number of users while considering effective use of Core resources and time. Finally, we provide a syllabus and other details for the lecture series (Biomed. Eng. 298: Auditory Science and Engineering). The course will be co-taught annually by Drs. Zeng and Lu.
