Congrats to all University of Iowa Dare to Discover '25 campaign rising stars! Special shout out to our own IGPI and Computer Science students Phuong Nguyen (Informatics PhD), Delaney Norris (Informatics MS), Nahid Zeinali (Informatics PhD), and Liao Zhu (CS BS | Mathematics BS).

In November 2024, undergraduate students (3rd year CS and music major) Eric Newton, (3rd year CS) Fin Deevy, (2nd year CS major) Kyle Chi, and (3rd year CS and linguistics major) Nick Theuerkauf participated in Swan Hacks, securing 3rd place with their creation of SpreadSim.

The growing Department of Computer Science will find a new home in the Iowa Advanced Technology Laboratories (IATL) as part of a $25 million project to renovate the west wing and to build an addition that was originally intended but never completed. The design phase is progressing, and construction will begin this summer with completion in summer 2027.

Professor Sriram Pemmaraju, Emeritus Faculty Sukumar Ghosh, and UI Alum Shreyas Pai along side computer science PhD students Hongyan Ji and Joshua Sobel recently won the Best Paper in Distributed Computing Track award for their paper “Faster Set Cover in the MPC Model” at the ICDCN 2025 conference.

Join us in welcoming two new faculty members as we begin the Spring '25 semester: Naimul Hoque and Tasfia Mashiat!

PhD candidate Josh Sobel (CS - 4th year) received a Graduate College Post-Comprehensive Research Fellowship for Spring 2025. Fellow doctorate student Nahid Zeinali (IGPI - 4th year) was awarded a Ballard and Seashore Dissertation Fellowship.

Nahar reflects on his time at CRST - The Transportation Solution and provides insight into what he learned from his experience.
