Jeffrey Shafer - Welcome!

 

Jeff Photo 1I am a 4th year graduate student in the Electrical and Computer Engineering department at Rice University, and am a member of the Rice Computer Architecture group under Professor Scott Rixner. My research interests focus on the communication between the hardware and software layers in high-performance network architectures.

I received the B.S in Computer Engineering in 2002 and the M.S in Electrical Engineering in 2004, both from the University of Dayton. I have worked at the Air Force Research Laboratory investigating real-time video compression algorithms and at Hewlett-Packard Labs researching high-performance network architectures for cluster computers and data centers.

I am currently the department representative on the Rice Graduate Student Association and am the graduate student representative on the University Committee on Teaching. In preparation for future teaching responsibilities, I served as the TA for the Fundamentals of Computer Engineering course in Spring 2007, and am currently developing and teaching a new course on Network Systems Architecture with my advisor. I am a member of the IEEE, ACM, and ASEE professional societies as well as the Tau Beta Pi, Eta Kappa Nu, and Omicron Delta Kappa honor societies.
