2016 CS Research Day
Posted on 2016-04-01
Congratulations to the winners of the oral and poster presentations at the 12th Annual Computer Science Research Day.
Computer Science faculty and students gathered today in the FIT Fishbowl in order to view presentations from over 20 participants in a variety of exciting research areas. We awarded the top three places in each category; however, all of the participants did an excellent job. Each of the first place winners received tablets and second and third place winners received Amazon gift certificates.
Special thanks to the panel of faculty judges: Profs. Nasir Ali, Bernie Daigle, Dipankar Dasgupta, Scott Fleming, Max Garzon, Zhuo Lu, Vinhthuy Phan, Vasile Rus, Deepak Venugopal, and Lan Wang. Thanks also to Profs. Santosh Kumar and Scott Fleming, Graduate Student Association president Austin Henley, and Administrative Secretary Lyndsey Rush for organizing and making the event possible.
