Mr. Stehlik’s Opus Reflections on a 40 Year Teaching Life Wednesday, July 16, 2025 In one of the most celebrated computer science schools in the world, one of the most beloved figures is a man who collects fountain pens and books. His first fountain pen, he points out, was filled with green ink — not red. It’s a metaphor for how Mark Stehlik approaches his craft: finding ways to say go when everyone else is saying stop.

Driven by AI, data centers could claim 945 terawatt hours of energy in the next five years, a figure that’s greater than the current electricity consumption of Japan. With support from The Scott Institute for Energy Innovation’s seed grant program, Dimitrios Skarlatos will develop a proof-of-concept for a virtualization layer capable of performing fine-grained, efficient power management of GPUs.
