A University of Maryland-led institute focused on robust quantum simulation will launch a new phase of research with a five-year U.S. National Science Foundation award expected to total $37.5 million. The renewal for the NSF...read more
MATH 440: “Geometry and Data Science of Sports Analytics” gives students experience applying programming, data analysis and machine learning to careers in professional sports.
Growing up, Jason Lott (B.S. ’25, computer science and mathematics) was always fascinated by sports. So, when he was scrolling through Testudo during his junior year at the University of Maryland to sign up for...read more
Five panels introduced the department’s 179 incoming graduate students to research in theory, artificial intelligence, robotics, systems and cybersecurity.
The University of Maryland’s Department of Computer Science organized its annual Computer and Computational Sciences Research Day on August 27, giving incoming graduate students an overview of research across computing fields and opportunities to connect...read more
Research co-authored by Gabe Kaptchuk found that combining ad targeting with campaign performance data can expose private user information despite technical safeguards.
Tech companies and browser developers have spent years pursuing a seemingly ideal solution to one of the web’s thorniest problems: using advanced cryptography to make online advertising useful without sacrificing user privacy. New research co-authored...read more
Computing Catalyst’s TechStart program gave University of Maryland students a week to explore coding, design and technology through community-focused projects.
A tool to help students make connections on campus. A redesigned University of Maryland map. A way to find cooler spaces during hot summer days. Those were among the projects UMD students presented as the...read more
A UMD-led team, including Chris Metzler, Abhinav Bhatele and Haizhao Yang, is developing an AI framework to produce faster, more detailed long-range water forecasts.
Predicting whether next season will bring a devastating flood or a crippling drought often comes down to a race against the clock. For climate scientists, forecasting the future movement of water requires some of the...read more
UMD alum Eileen Buckholtz spent three decades working with emerging technology at the NSA. Decades later, she is documenting the computing careers of women whose classified work kept them largely out of history.
For much of the career of alum Eileen Buckholtz (M.S. ’73, computer science), the details of her work at the National Security Agency remained private. She could discuss projects with colleagues, but not with her...read more
Naomi Feldman, Rachel Rudinger and Sarah Wiegreffe will examine how cognitive biases influence language model decisions and test methods for reducing them.
A team of University of Maryland Department of Computer Science researchers has received seed funding for an interdisciplinary effort that combines cognitive psychology and computer science to investigate how artificial intelligence makes decisions—and why those...read more
