Senior lecturer Kevin Wayne’s promotion to the newly created position of university lecturer this summer represented not only a career achievement for the Computer Science Department veteran but also well-deserved recognition of the teaching faculty’s critical role in undergraduate education.

A team at Princeton University, led by professor Jonathan Mayer, is working to solve this problem. Together with Mozilla — creator of the Firefox web browser — Mayer’s team has developed a novel research initiative for studying technology policy issues.

In a recent study, Princeton researchers described how people are prone to distort spatial information based on their shared expectations about a scene. The researchers studied multiple observers' recollections of the location of dots on computer screens. image provided by Griffiths et al

Olga Russakovsky, an assistant professor of computer science is a forward-thinking expert in computer vision systems. In this video short in the “Forward Thinkers” series, Russokovsky acknowledges the amazing breakthroughs in computer vision that have powered important applications in areas such as disaster relief, autonomous transportation, or medical diagnostics. She also voices concern for the potential for bias within these systems and speaks about her vision for “AI for All,” and her work in identifying a more diverse generation to work on artificial intelligence systems.

The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and the IEEE Computer Society (CS) have awarded Margaret Martonosi, Hugh Trumbull Adams '35 Professor of Computer Science at Princeton University, the 2021 Eckert-Mauchly Award for her contributions to the design, modeling, and verification of power-efficient computer architecture.

Princeton computer scientist Aarti Gupta is a leading researcher specializing in formal verification, advancing both the underlying theoretical foundations of the field and practical innovations to improve real-world systems.

The School of Engineering and Applied Science has recognized six assistant professors for outstanding teaching and research. Each recipient of the 2021 junior faculty award will receive $50,000 to support their work.

On Monday, May 24, 2021, the Computer Science department held its Class Day award ceremony online. Those honored are listed below.

Adora’s founders weren’t anticipating a pandemic when they started creating a virtual campus visit company in 2019, but the lessons they learned in Princeton’s classrooms and beyond helped them seize the moment and transform their idea into a runaway success.

The Princeton University chapter of Phi Beta Kappa will present its annual awards for excellence in undergraduate teaching to Olga Russakovsky, assistant professor of computer science as well as Helmut Reimitz, professor of history and director of the Program in Medieval Studies.

Princeton University was not on junior Raya Ward's radar when she was deciding where to study. A spur-of-the-moment Orange Key tour – her mother's suggestion en route from their home in Georgia – shot Princeton to the top of her list. Financial aid was a primary factor, and she heard all the right things during her visit. "A huge consideration for me was financial aid," Ward said. "And my tour guide spent at least ten minutes explaining the incredible support Princeton offers."

Adji Bousso Dieng wants to create artificial intelligence that can understand the mechanisms underlying complex systems and have a level of control over their behavior — work that could impact fields including science, health care and automated systems.
