Christopher Moretti and Matt Weinberg were recognized yesterday at the annual School of Engineering and Applied Science Excellence in Teaching Awards.

The Sloan Foundation has announced that Felix Heide, an expert in computer vision, and Anirudha Majumdar, an expert in robotics, have been selected as 2023 Sloan Research Fellows in computer science.

For artificial intelligence to realize its potential — to relieve humans from mundane tasks, make life easier, and eventually invent entirely new solutions to our problems — computers will need to surpass us at two things that we humans do pretty well: see the world around us and understand our language.

Exploring a new way to teach robots, Princeton researchers have found that human-language descriptions of tools can accelerate the learning of a simulated robotic arm lifting and using a variety of tools.

For Ruth Fong, the fundamental appeal of computer science lies in its creativity. “To be able to program,” she said, “is to be able to create and be creative.”

A Covid-19 patient is rushed to the emergency room for trouble breathing and placed on a ventilator. The ventilator senses various conditions including the pressure in the patient’s lungs and injects the appropriate amount of oxygen to help the patient breathe normally again.

The Department of Computer Science seeks applications from exceptional individuals who share our strong commitment to undergraduate education to join our teaching faculty in one or more full-time positions at the rank of Lecturer.

Szymon Rusinkiewicz, an expert in computer graphics and robotics, has received the 2023 Schowalter Award from the School of Engineering and Applied Science.

Felix Heide, assistant professor of computer science, was featured in a recent video from Princeton Innovation. Heide and his collaborators are are working on creating an ultra-compact camera that can produce crisp, full-color images on par with a conventional compound camera lens 500,000 times greater in size.

Computer scientists at Princeton have found a new technique for making deep neural networks faster, more energy efficient and cheaper to run.

Jennifer Rexford, the Gordon Y.S. Wu Professor in Engineering, professor and department chair in computer science, and a 1991 graduate of the University, has been named Princeton’s provost. Her appointment will take effect on March 13.

Danqi Chen has been named a 2022 Samsung AI Researcher of the Year for her work on natural language processing and machine learning.
