More than two-dozen Computer Science and Electrical Engineering graduate students are slated to present at the Graduate Student Association's annual Graduate Research Conference (GRC). The GRC will be held this Friday, April 27 and features a keynote presentation from Dr. Michael I. Nishimura, a UMBC alumnus who now works at Loyola University Chicago as a professor in the Department of Surgery, the Associate Director of the Oncology institute, the Associate Director of the Cancer Center Translations Research, and as Program Director of Immunologic Therapeutics.
This year, the CSEE presence at the GRC is even stronger than it was last year, when three CSEE students were awarded for outstanding presentations. The honorees were Varish Mulwad who received an award for an outstanding oral presentation on his dissertation research entitled "Generating Knowledge from Tables," Kavita Krishnaswamy who received an award for an outstanding oral presentation on her thesis research entitled "Path planning a roboticarm efficiently," and Akshya Iyengar who received an award for an outstanding poster presentation for her thesis research entitled "Estimating Temporal Boundaries of Events using Social Media Data".
Take a look at the list below, which includes the 27 CSEE graduate students who will present at the GRC this year.
Check out some photos from last year's conference.
