Danqi Chen and Karthik Narasimhan, both assistant professors in computer science, have won National Science Foundation CAREER Awards.

The Department of Computer Science celebrates the important contributions of the 29 doctoral students and 25 master’s students who earned graduate degrees in computer science over the past academic year.

The Department of Computer Science honored its 203 graduating seniors in a Class Day ceremony on Monday, May 29, conferring honors and awards for outstanding academic achievement.

Andrés Monroy-Hernández, an expert in human-computer interaction, has won the Lawrence Keyes, Jr./Emerson Electric Co. Faculty Advancement Award. Ravi Netravali, an expert in systems and networking, has won the Howard B. Wentz, Jr. Junior Faculty Award. Both awards are from Princeton's School of Engineering and Applied Science and recognize the achievements of junior faculty.

This semester a team of Princeton students gather weekly in a small seminar room to study medicine. But no stethoscopes or scalpels are involved. These students are using computers.

Computer Science majors Victoria Graf and Arya Maheshwari have been awarded Goldwater Scholarships, an annual award for outstanding undergraduates interested in careers in mathematics, the natural sciences and engineering. They are two of four students selected from Princeton, and among the 413 scholarship recipients selected across the United States.

All intelligent organisms have a nervous system, a way for communication to flow between the brain and the motor system and vice versa. Researchers at Princeton have taken a first step in developing this type of coordination for mechanical AI systems using the tools of machine learning.

Andrés Monroy-Hernández sees an opportunity to build something better this time.

Matt Weinberg, an expert in economics and computation, sees decentralization as a tool, rather than an objective.

A startup cofounded by Felix Heide has been acquired by Torc. Heide’s technology will start being used in operational autonomous test trucks in the not-too-distant-future.

5G communications’ superfast download speeds rely on the high frequencies that drive the transmissions. But the highest frequencies come with a tradeoff.

Yuri Pritykin, an expert in genomics and computational biology, has received the National Science Foundation’s CAREER award, a top honor for early-career faculty.
