Undergraduate Research Assistants

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.
