In a talk last October designed for first-year PhD students in all areas of computing -- "Getting to Do What You Want: a Career Plan" -- George shared insights from his 45-year career in computing, including 30-plus years at Intel.

This talk -- "My PhD: What Topic and How to Pick It" -- continues down that path.  All CoC PhD students and faculty are invited to come and wind up the week with snacks, socializing, and what is sure to be an insightful talk.

George Cox has MS and PhD degrees in Computer Science from Purdue University and a bachelor's in Mathematics from the University of Texas at Austin.
