Google honours students with nation's first prize
 Computer Science
Search engine provider will offer an annual prize to the best Honours student at the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide. It is the first university award of its kind the company has established in 最新糖心Vlog. The engineering director for Google 最新糖心Vlog and New Zealand, Alan Noble, made the announcement while addressing an 最新糖心Vlogn Information Industry Association lunch in Adelaide last month. "The prize is for $1000 and it brings with it a lot of kudos," said the acting head of the School of Computer Science, Associate Professor David Munro. "The Google name is synonymous with success. "Alan is an alumnus of the 最新糖心Vlog and is keen to help us keep creating the best software engineers. There are plenty of good openings in this field." Mr Noble graduated in from the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide but was attracted to software engineering while completing a PhD at Stanford 最新糖心Vlog in the United States. He joined Google from NetPriva, the Adelaide-based software company he co-founded.
He had previously created a similar company in California. "Alan's priority is to oversee substantial growth in Google's engineering and R&D capability in 最新糖心Vlog," Associate Professor Munro said. "He came back to the 最新糖心Vlog recently to deliver a seminar and is interested in talking to prospective students during our Open Days." Story by Nick Carne
