Undergraduate students in the Department of Computer Science can participate in and develop cutting edge computer science within one of research groups. An Undergraduate Student Research Award (USRA) allows talented and motivated undergraduate students to work on a research project under the supervision of a Computer Science faculty member
I work with undergraduate students to train them to get acquainted with my research program and to facilitate my team’s research progress.

Some of the USRA students of 2022
USRA Outcomes & Recognition
Selected University of Saskatchewan coverage highlighting iSE Lab undergraduate research and student achievements.
Early Research Mentorship
The iSE Lab also supports early research mentorship at the high school level. One former high school research intern (Amiya Saha) gained hands-on research experience in the lab and subsequently received admission to the Computer Science & Engineering at the University of Washington.
