2011 CSE Graduate Student Honors Competition Highlights Exceptional Research

CSE held its eighth annual CSE Graduate Student Honors Competition on December 8, 2011. The competition was the culmination of a process that narrowed the field of entrants to four finalists, each of whom gave a summary presentation on an area of their research. CSE faculty ranked the finalist’s presentations.
