To probe the origin and spread of cancers in the human body more effectively, Ben Raphael, professor of computer science at Princeton University, and his research lab created HATCHet or Holistic Allele-specific Tumor Copy-number Heterogeneity, an algorithm that is capable of finding and analyzing genes that have been duplicated or deleted in multiple tumor samples from a single cancer patient.

Three CS Undergraduate students were awarded prizes at the University’s formal Opening Exercises, which took place in the University Chapel on Sunday, August 29, 2021.

Michael Freedman has been named the Robert E. Kahn Professor of Computer Science, established by a gift of Robert E. Kahn, who earned a Ph.D. from Princeton in 1964 and is widely known as a “father of the internet.”

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.
