CRA Undergraduate 研究 Award

Congratulations to our nominees, Eli Pregerson and William Yik! The CS Department is happy to submit these two for consideration for the Computer 研究 Association’s Undergraduate 研究 Award, which “recognizes undergraduate 学生s in North American colleges and universities who show outstanding potential in an area of computing research.”

一个 of Eli’s notable research projects is on asymptotic path complexity (APC) for recursive functions, which is an important metric for measuring the complexity of a program and can help programmers write code that is easier to understand and test. Eli has been working on this project with Prof. Bang since 2021 and has presented their research at the 2023 FormaliSE / IEEE / ACM 45th International Conference on Software 工程 in Melbourne, 澳大利亚.

William has done research projects such as hypothesis testing for fair AI, neural climate model emulation, and deep learning for physical oceanography in the hopes of accelerating climate change research with machine learning. William has given talks for “Explainable Machine Learning for Inferring Subsurface Ocean Dynamics” at the NOAA Science and Education Symposium, and “Identifying Bias in Data Using 两个-Distribution Hypothesis Tests” at the AAAI/ACM Conference on Artificial Intelligence, 道德, 和社会.

学生资源

CS邮件列表

Don’t forget to check out some of our 学生资源. In particular, we’ve changed the CS External Opportunities into “CS邮件列表.”

The CS Opps list is where we send our jobs, 实习, 研究生院, and research opportunities that get sent to us.

There is also the CS Friends mailing list, which we hope to use for these kinds of announcements. Please spread the word to your friends who go, “Wait, I didn’t receive an email!” The CS Friends list is for those who intend to major in CS, so they might not be declared yet. But it’s also for anyone who is a CS’er and wants to know what’s going on with HMC.

惊喜? Wally the Wart Keychains

There’s a hidden Kevin Herrera reading a book on the CS Department’s website! Navigate our website by clicking on the yellow drop-down menu called “计算机科学菜单.” Anything in the top navigation bar with “Admission and Financial Aid,” “Admissions,” etc. 不是我们. 

If you don’t know Kevin, check out our 教职员工页面.

To enter the raffle, please submit a screenshot of this “hidden” Kevin reading a book 通过这个表格. The form will close tonight at 8:00 PM.
