The National Science Foundation has awarded emergency grants to two teams of Princeton researchers developing ways to better track and contain pandemics including COVID-19.

Computer Science PhD student Prakash Murali has been awarded the 2020 IBM PhD Fellowship.

Aninda Manocha and Uthsav Rajaram Chitra, both second-year PhD students in Computer Science, have received the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship.

Princeton University is implementing a series of policies in response to COVID-19, commonly known as coronavirus. The University is enacting new policies and practices based on the concept of social distancing.

Elena Lucherini achieved high grades in her computer science master's courses in Italy, yet she couldn’t help but feel that something crucial was missing. “You code all day and don’t have to care about anything else,” she said. “It was just the nerdy stuff with basically no focus on ethics or policy.”

The Undergraduate and Graduate Engineering Councils presented the Excellence in Teaching Awards for the School of Engineering and Applied Science on Thursday, February 20, 2020. Of the sixteen SEAS awardees, six were from Computer Science!

Karan Singh, a doctoral student in computer science, is among four winners of the Porter Ogden Jacobus Fellowship, Princeton University’s top honor for graduate students.

Addressing problems of bias in artificial intelligence, computer scientists from Princeton and Stanford University have developed methods to obtain fairer data sets containing images of people. The researchers propose improvements to ImageNet, a database of more than 14 million images that has played a key role in advancing computer vision over the past decade.

S. Matthew Weinberg, along with two other Princeton faculty members, is among the 126 researchers from more than 60 research institutions in the United States and Canada named as 2020 Sloan Research Fellows.

The discovery involves areas of DNA that do not directly code for the proteins that carry out cellular activities, but instead control how genes are switched on and off. Scientists have long understood that these noncoding regions play an important role in cancer, but describing that role has been formidably difficult.

Hidden beneath our everyday world — on the infinitesimal scale of atomic and subatomic particles — is a strange and elusive realm. It is a Lewis Carroll-like place where ghostly particles pop in and out of existence, swirling electrons occupy two positions at once, and objects possess dual natures — they can be both waves and particles simultaneously.

Princeton computer science professors Michael Freedman and Mona Singh have been named fellows of the Association for Computing Machinery in recognition of their significant contribution to computing and information technology.
