"My work is grounded in the belief that programming should be a fundamentally creative and joyful activity. Programming involves exploring and understanding a problem, giving it a precise computational form, devising a solution, and then being able to execute and evaluate that solution."

UIowa honors the architect who designed the future campus home of our Department of Computer Science. Just weeks ago, initial ground-breaking began for constructing the new addition to IATL that complete's Frank Gehry's vision. Our move to the facility will be in Fall of 2027.

The Department of Computer Science remembers its former chair, Emeritus Professor Donald Epley, who passed away this November.

"A Professor, a Website, and a Leap of Faith: Forman earned a Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics from the University of Iowa, and he arrived in Philadelphia in 2000 after accepting a position as a professor of math and computer science at Saint Joseph’s University. By then, Baseball Reference, the flagship of Sports Reference’s collection of nine sites, was already alive. It started in his final year of graduate school as a side project. While he was a full-time professor at Saint Joseph’s, he would update Baseball Reference on nights and weekends. It wasn’t sophisticated, it wasn’t profitable, and it had only a fraction of today’s audience."
