invites you to the IBM Hackathon that is taking place right now on the first-floor of Davis Hall in the Bansal Atrium.

You're looking at the dedicated teams working diligently on their presentations.

Student presentations will start around 2:30 today, May 1. Winners will be announced around 3:30. Hope to see you here!

The Distinguished Speaker Series returns on Monday, May 4 when David Walker, PhD, Princeton presents as the guest speaker.

As always, the event is free and open to the public.

You will learn more about his presentation, here: http://ms.spr.ly/6184v8i7O

is very excited that UB President Satish Tripathi will continue to have a positive impact on the university community and beyond as a member of the CSE faculty following his retirement as president this summer.

We invite you to read more about his outstanding leadership and legacy.

Congratulations to and assistant professor Kaiyi Ji on his National Science Foundation CAREER AWARD 🏅🏅

Ji's work will focus on advancing the theoretical and algorithmic foundations of multi-objective optimization (MOO). There are several real-world AI and big data examples of systems that use MOO, like 5G networks, autonomous systems, healthcare, finance and several more. The findings of this project have the potential the push MOO research and performance forward, enhancing the efficiency and impact of each of these systems.

💻⚕️A paper on a -led study was recently recognized with third place at the HumanSyS, an international workshop on Human-centered sensing, modeling and intelligent systems!

The study, led by Wenyao Xu, professor in , details new technology that would enable medical professionals to observe skin without removing bandages to monitor wounds. This could reduce infections and save caregivers time.

The study also features Xu's PhD candidates Xiaoyu Zhang and Wei Bo, professor Jun Xia and his PhD candidates Yanda Cheng and Chuqin Huang

Proud to share Ragavi’s accomplishments 👏

🏆🎉CSE Professor Atri Rudra has received the ACM PODS Alberto O. Mendelzon Test-of-Time Award 2025 for his collaborative work on "Joins via Geometric Resolutions: Worst-case and Beyond."

This research introduced a novel worst-case optimal relational join algorithm, unifying previous approaches through a geometric framework linked to logical resolution. It has shaped modern database systems, influencing indexing schemes, query optimization, functional aggregate queries, and applications in tensor computations and high-dimensional data analysis.

🎖️Congratulations Atri!!

🎉Associate Professor Marina Blanton has been named an ACM Distinguished Member for the year of 2024 for her contributions to the advancement of privacy-preserving computation.

The ACM Distinguished Member program honors up to 10% of its global members for exceptional achievements in computing, requiring 15 years of experience, five years of ACM membership, and a significant impact on the field, along with mentorship contributions.

Congratulations Marina!
