1998 Winner: Outstanding Undergraduate Award April Rasala is majoring in Computer Science in her senior year at Dartmouth College where she is a Rufus Choate Scholar. As a student research assistant, she worked on problems in bicriteria scheduling. Specifically, she looked at schedules that would (approximately) minimize both schedule length and average completion time. Her work led to improved bounds on the existence of schedules that are near-optimal for both criteria. She also participated in CRA-W's Distributed Mentor Project, working last summer with researchers at the University of Washington on finding generic algorithms that perform well across a wide range of on-line problems. Her work analyzed the performance of one candidate for such a generic algorithm, the Work Function Algorithm. April has worked as a grader/section leader for several undergraduate courses and she has spent a quarter working as a software engineer at Hewlett-Packard.
