NVSL students past and present were out in force at the Flash Memory Summit this year. Bryan Kim (now at SK Telecom), Hung Wei Tseng (interning at Intel), Todor Mollov (now at a hot SSD startup), Laura Grupp (recent PhD and now Microsoft SSD guru), Michael Wei, and Sundaram Bhaskaran (who presented his recent work on caching in Moneta) all made it to the summit in one capacity or another. Ameen Akel (now at Micron) was rumored to make an appearance as well. Much to his chagrin, Steve missed the party.
