Stony Brook University Dept. of Computer Science

Shoutout to @stonybrooku CS students Brian Lin & Madhav Rapelli for helping create Nexus! This new website connects students w/faculty based on skills, majors & research interests to find undergrad #research opportunities. Launching Spring 2025! tinyurl.com/49nrxck7 @CEASSBU

When Patrick Farrell signed up for his 1st #hackathon at @stonybrooku, he was a student at @SUNYSFLK & didn’t know anyone at the competition. That event, HopperHacks, led to Farrell transferring to SBU in Fall '24 as a #computerscience major. Read more: tinyurl.com/y4rkmabu

Prof. Xiaojun Bi is inspiring the next generation of #computerscientists by mentoring high school students! See how this meaningful connection helped guide a top Regeneron Science scholar: tinyurl.com/6js93mms

Congratulations to @stonybrooku Professor Michael Bender on being named a 2024 AAAS Fellow! This achievement recognizes his significant contributions to the foundations of #datastructure and their applications. Read more at: tinyurl.com/mxp55uk9 @CEASSBU

BREAKING: Princeton Dean Andrea Goldsmith has been named the seventh president of #StonyBrookU. She brings an extraordinary background as a researcher, entrepreneur, and professor at @Princeton and @Stanford. Learn more: gosbu.co/meet  @SUNY @SUNYChancellor

Dr. Mark Dean, computer scientist and engineer, helped design the first IBM PC & holds 3 of its original 9 patents. The first African American to earn a PhD in computer science from U of Tennessee, he co-invented the ISA bus, enabling PC connectivity to peripherals. #blackhistory

Decades after graduating, CS alum Abhik Roychoudhury (Class of '00) continues to make waves! Now the Provost's Chair Professor of CS at NUS, he was recently named a 2024 ACM Fellow. Check out his pioneering work in software engineering: tinyurl.com/4wzmrjah #SoftwareEngineer

Researchers at @stonybrooku launched Influencer — an easy-to-use AI-empowered interactive tool, made for design novices who need to create promotional posts every day, speedily. Read more here: tinyurl.com/2p3kumma @AI_SBU #AI #DesignTools #Creatives

Congratulations to our faculty who were honored at @CEASSBU's first annual awards ceremony! Read about it here: tinyurl.com/3d2ecft5 #computerscience #teaching

In 2015, the deep learning #AI #AlphaGo defeated a world champion in "Go"—a game with more possible moves than atoms in the observable universe. This milestone showed AI's potential to tackle problems once thought too complex for machines. #MachineLearning #AIRevolution @AI_SBU

Did you know? The first high-level programming language was Fortran (short for "Formula Translation") and was developed in the 50's by @IBM. #ComputerScienceWeek @AI_SBU @CEASSBU #CodingLife

Congratulations, Anshul - we're proud of you!

The first computer virus was created in the early 70s by Bob Thomas. It was a harmless program that displayed the message, "I'm the creeper, catch me if you can!" & was not designed to cause harm, but it laid the groundwork for the evolution of malware. #computerscienceweek2024

#AI might dominate chess, but it struggles with NYT Connections puzzles. A study by @stonybrooku 's Tuhin Chakrabarty found that even top-performing AI only solve 18% of games. Human players (novice & expert) outperform the AI. Read more: lnkd.in/eBbcJcU2 @AI_SBU

Don't miss out! This Friday, come and see Mohit Bansal discuss Planning Agents for Collaborative Reasoning & Multimodal Generation. 2:30 PM in NCS. #computerscience Find out more at: cs.stonybrook.edu/about-us/dls

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand met with @StonyBrookU's #cybersecurity faculty, students & leadership. She encouraged students to apply for the DoD Cyber Service Academy, which offers full tuition in exchange for service in the DoD or Intelligence Community. tinyurl.com/46eapdxs

Join the Dept of #ComputerScience on December 6th at 2:30 PM to welcome Mohit Bansal, UNC Chapel Hill, who will lecture on "Planning Agents for Collaborative Reasoning and Multimodal Generation." Learn more here: tinyurl.com/jkmex3e9 @AI_SBU @CEASSBU @stonybrooku

Congrats to Amir Hamza, Ritesh Chavan, Jamie Calub and Sean Erfan of the Stony Brook Computing Society for winning HackHarvard 2024's "Best Healthcare" award for their #app "Flexy (And I Know It)." tinyurl.com/34tsdmam

Congrats to alum Santiago Vargas! Nothing is more fulfilling than seeing our students go on to do great things and be recognized for them! Santiago spent his undergrad years at Molloy University before enrolling in the #ComputerScience PhD program at @stonybrooku. #30Under30
