Ibrahim Demir, an associate professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, and Bijaya Adhikari, an assistant professor in the Department of Computer Science, won a $125,000 award from the National Science Foundation to contribute hydroinformatics and machine learning training to a cutting-edge initiative entitled "Inclusive Cyberinfrastructure and Machine Learning Training to Advance Water Science Research."

Dr. Rahul Singh joined us in Fall 2023 from San Francisco State University. He is also a professor (by affiliation) at the Center for Discovery and Innovation in Parasitic Diseases, University of California, San Diego. Dr. Singh brings to UIowaCS a $516,000 grant from the National Science Foundation for the research project entitled Designing Structure-Phenotype Query-Retrieval and Analysis Systems for Microscopy-Based Whole Organism Studies.

Tanmay Inamdar graduated with a Ph.D. in computer science from the University of Iowa in 2020. In this Q&A, Inamdar discusses his research and the value of a close-knit computer science department.

The project will develop a suite of compiler and runtime tools to simplify the implementation of sampling-based algorithms and improve their performance in computing and big data applications while enhancing their capacity to solve real-world problems at a large scale. In doing so, the project will provide solutions to limitations of sampling-based hardware without sacrificing the accuracy and efficiency of sampling strategies.

Professor Cesare Tinelli and long-time Stanford collaborator and Principal Investigator Clark Barrett were recently awarded a $1.5 million grant from the National Science Foundation for their project entitled POSE: Phase II: An Open-Source Ecosystem for the cvc5 SMT Solver.
