Dr. Brian D. Davison in the News

Occasionally, Prof. Brian Davison is mentioned in the press. Here are links to such stories. Notice of additional stories are welcome!

March 2011 My non-expert opinion was quoted (correctly!) in the local paper, on the relative risks of having your driver's license read at a store.

October 2009 I was one of the profiled researchers in an article talking about leveraging high performance computing for research in the College of Engineering's Resolve Magazine.

December 2008 HP wrote and is sharing a a case study of the use of HP workstations in a flexible teaching lab at Lehigh called the sandbox. In it I am amusingly called a "pioneering professor" and the original sandbox design as my "brainchild".

November 2008 I was quoted in the The Ottowa Citizen in NASA, Google work on way to plug Mars into the Internet on how delay and disruption tolerant networking is a significant advance over the way the Internet has worked for the past few decades. This article was picked up by Canwest News Service and so it has appeared on canada.com and a few of its affiliated papers (including The Province, The Vancouver Sun and The Montreal Gazette).

THE BROWN AND WHITE October 2008 I was quoted in the The Brown and White in an article about new high-performance computers installed recently (no longer online). While I currently chair the HPC steering committee, I am not an LTS employee, and I think the author might still be confused about computer technology.

October 2008 I was mentioned in an article talking about past work on disruption tolerant networking in the College of Engineering's Resolve Magazine.

March 2008 An article in the 14 March 2008 issue of New Scientist relates my comments on how advertisers are manipulating search engine results. The original article is now subscription-only, but it appears to have been syndicated elsewhere, so you can read it in places such as The Sydney Morning Herald (no longer avail.) and The Age.

THE BROWN AND WHITE December 2006 I was quoted in the The Brown and White in an article about Michele Kimpton's presentation about the Internet Archive.

THE BROWN AND WHITE October 2006 The Lehigh student newspaper, The Brown and White, ran a short story mentioning my presentation on the United Nations and Internet governance (no longer online).

September 2006 Lehigh put out a story about my recent NSF CAREER award. An abbreviated version of the article also appeared in the College of Engineering's Resolve Magazine.

June 2006 Lehigh's feature on our work on finding search engine spam. The college had earlier put out a brief announcement about the Microsoft award.

May 2006 Microsoft Live Labs' announcement that I was one of the twelve winners of their Accelerating Search in Academic Research 2006 Awards. They also generated a press release.

May 2006 A photo at a Yahoo party at WWW2006 in which a friend and I are looking at his game of Yahoodoku.

January 2005 Lehigh's story on our CMG 2004 Best Paper award.

THE BROWN AND WHITE January 2005 The Lehigh student newspaper, The Brown and White, ran a story on BitTorrent that quoted me a few times.

THE BROWN AND WHITE October 2004 This Brown and White story on Mozilla Firefox web browser quoting me on Firefox's ability to prefetch web content.

April 2004 I was quoted in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer on startups in Web search, in an article that is mostly about Greg Linden's Findory.com.

March 2003 Fast Company wrote an article about the growth of Google in which I was quoted about Google's hiring successes. Apparently this article was widely syndicated, including placement in airline magazines, etc.
