PAVAN ADURI was invited to join the Simons Institute for the Theory of Computing Program on Meta Complexity. His paper “Model Counting
Meets Distinct Elements” was invited to the CACM Research highlights and appeared in the September 2023 issue of CACM.
ABRAHAM ALDACO received the 2022-2023 Departmental Excellence Award in Teaching.
THE EXTERNAL ADVISORY COUNCIL was formed in 2010 to assist the department in the following ways: gain insight and offer input into the mission, programs and activities of the department, facilitate the department in establishing mutually beneficial partnerships with individuals and corporations, actively participate in department fundraising efforts, assist in identifying and prioritizing resource needs of the department, participate in online discussions and attend annual on-campus meetings, represent the department to the ISU community at large as well as to external organizations.
Hear about some of the amazing internship adventures our Computer Science students went on this summer, what motivated them, and how they benefited from the opportunity to expand their education beyond the classroom:
SHAKIL AHMED – LECTURER obtained his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Iowa State University. His research endeavors encompass a range of captivating domains, including the exploration of 5G/6G technologies, the intricacies of edge networks, the world of vehicle-to-everything communication, the intricacies of edge caching and computing, the synergy between machine learning and wireless networks, as well as the integration of wireless networks for distributed and on-device machine learning.
Research in the Department of Computer Science covers a comprehensive range of computing aspects, from theoretical foundations to practical applications in artificial intelligence, robotics, and software engineering. Our faculty, alongside graduate and undergraduate students, are advancing both the science and practical applications of computing. They achieve this through interdisciplinary collaborations within Iowa State and by partnering with leading computer science experts globally.
24 papers accepted to 11 top-tier conferences:
Industries worldwide are increasingly using drone technology to enhance the efficiency of their business practices. However, the growing number of drones also brings concerns regarding congestion and safety in a limited airspace. To address these challenges, government agencies and researchers are collaborating to build new automated techniques that can ensure the safety of our skies.
Deep learning has showcased remarkable potential in effectively tackling various software engineering tasks. However, its capabilities are limited when it comes to challenging yet crucial software assurance tasks such as bug detection, debugging, test input generation, and test suite prioritization. These tasks prove difficult to formulate as learning problems, primarily due to the intricate nature of program semantics.
Dr. Long Nguyen's contributions have left an indelible mark on the field of computer science at Iowa State University. These programs underscore Dr. Long Nguyen's commitment to advancing knowledge, supporting faculty, and cultivating a new wave of computing leaders. His approach ensures that the legacy of excellence he has cultivated will continue to resonate and inspire within the halls of Iowa State University for generations to come as we continue our innovative research.
