We would love to announce the 2025 Department of Computer Science Award Recipients. These award recipients were nominated and selected by the faculty members of the Department of Computer Science.

Chair’s Award for Excellence in Computer Science: Maya Carter
Selected by the Chair of the Department of Computer Science. This award goes to a student who not only has earned a high GPA in their major but has also contributed in a positive way to the department by being a leader and example to others in the community.

The Lawrence A. Jehn Alumni Award for Excellence in the Senior Class: Kaiden Keiser
The award is given to the outstanding senior majoring in computer science. This is the highest award offered by the department.

Outstanding Service to the Department of Computer Science: Michael Frank
This award is in recognition to those students who went above and beyond in service to the department. They would volunteer to talk to prospective students, participate in panels, serve in positions within the department, represent us in a good manner everywhere, etc.

Father Thomas Schoen Award for Innovative Programming: Bryan Kohler
This award should go to a student who is not only a great programmer but has also used their programming skills to go above and beyond in the classroom and outside.

Outstanding Graduate Student in Computer Science: Adam Holsinger
This award is given to a graduate student who has done incredible research, has earned exemplary grades, has been a motivation for others, and is an example to the community.

Congratulations to the award recipients on their recognition and those graduating this May and Summer 2025, we wish you all the best in your next journey!

STUDENT ORG HIGHLIGHT with the Game Development Club!!!

Are you looking to get involved on campus? We’re highlighting organizations that are perfect for CPS/CIS students!

The Game Development Club is a student organization centered around everything related to making video games. This involves a ton of creative work like 2D and 3D design, programming, music composition, sound design, and more. We participate in competitions like Game Jams, organize events with speakers from the industry, and are currently working on building an arcade cabinet from scratch to be housed in KU

Upcoming events 
On Saturday, March 30, we’re hosting Ray (Ramon Santamaria), creator of RayLib (25.6K+ GitHub Stars)! Join live via Discord (Zoom link inside) or catch the recording on YouTube!

Before the university closes for the holidays, we would like to congratulate and highlight our first graduate of the PhD in Computer Science program. Samah Baraheem, graduated in May 2024. Congratulations, Samah! Check out her PhD dissertation below.

Title: Automatic Sketch-To-Image Synthesis and Recognition

Abstract: Image is used everywhere since it conveys a story, a fact, or an imagination without any words. Thus, it can substitute sentences because the human brain can extract knowledge from images faster than words. However, creating an image from scratch is not only time-consuming, but also a tedious task that requires skills. Creating an image is not a trivial task since it contains rich features and fine-grained details, such as colors, brightness, saturation, luminance, texture, shadow, and so on. Thus, in order to generate an image in less time and without any artistic skills, sketch-to-image synthesis can be used. The reason is that hand sketches are much easier to produce, where only the key structural information is contained. Moreover, it can be drawn without skill and in less time. In fact, because sketches are often simple and rough black and white and sometimes imperfect, converting a sketch into an image is not a trivial problem. Furthermore, since the generated images have been improved over time regardless of the input modality, it sometimes becomes hard to distinguish between the synthetic images and genuine ones. Of course, this improves the content and the media, but it is considered as a serious threat regarding legitimacy, authenticity, and security. Thus, an automatic detection system of AI-generated images is a legitimate need. The contribution of this dissertation is two-fold. We first generate high-quality realistic images from simple, rough, black and white sketches, where a newly collected dataset of sketch-like images is compiled for training purposes. Second, since artificial images would have advantages and disadvantages in the real world, we create an automated system that is able to detect and localize synthetic images from genuine ones, where a large dataset of generated and real images is collected to train a CNN model.

Congratulations to our seniors on their Capstone presentations! During the Spring semester, our students engaged in projects to gain practical experience with the software development lifecycle (SDLC) process. They utilized various SDLC models, including Agile, Waterfall, and Iterative, and navigated through different phases of the SDLC, such as planning, implementation, testing, and deployment.

We are grateful for our wonderful partners who donated their valuable time and expertise to propose projects for our students. Thanks to: Riverside Research, Tangram Flex, Jim Wise Golf Academy, Meadowlawn Condominiums, ThinkPath Engineering Services, Sean Burke (DevOps Engineer JPMorgan Chase & Co), Mike Blum (former CTO of KCG Holdings, Inc, and Goldman Sachs), Ilumination Works LLC, and Dr. Vorachek (UD English Department).

We are very proud of our students and their hard work! Do you wish to submit a project proposal for the 2024-2025 academic year? Email us at [email protected]
