> UCL’s Department of Computer Science is creating the Andrea Bittau Memorial Scholarship, which will support a PhD student in the area of computer systems research--Andrea’s area of interest, for which he had so much talent and passion. Those who would like to contribute to support this lasting memorial to Andrea can do so online at:

> Note that UCL allocates all funds it receives in their entirety--without overhead--to the scholarship. US taxpayers should click on the American flag icon at the right of the page, which will direct a gift to UCL’s US-based 501(c)3 charity (UCL Friends and Alumni Association, UCLFAA), and thus entitles US individual taxpayers to claim US income tax relief on the amount given. UK taxpayers should instead click on the British flag icon, which will allow UCL to claim Gift Aid from the UK Government on the donor’s contribution, and thus increase the size of the gift UCL receives at zero further cost to the donor.
