CSUSB student Nathan Kelly earned the Best Student Poster Presentation Award at the 11th annual IEEE International Conference on Data Science and Advanced Analytics (DSAA) in San Diego. The conference marked the end of the Data Science Career Pathways in the Inland Empire Project, which has supported undergraduate students' research and helped build the new data science degree programs at CSUSB.
Qingquan Sun, a professor in the School of Computer Science and Engineering, was also recognized for his work to promote and support research by his students, a number of whom are from underrepresented backgrounds studying in the STEM disciplines.
The National Science Foundation awarded the grant to the university’s School of Computer Science and Engineering, which will use it to provide scholarships, mentorships and experiential learning opportunities for low-income and underrepresented students, and to meet a growing need for talented computer professionals in the region.
Qingquan Sun (computer science and engineering) co-authored a paper on the new technology revolution and Brian Levin (criminal justice) commented on the ongoing federal investigation of right-wing extremist groups tied to the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.
