Congratulations to all of our students who are graduating this year!
Hopefully we will see most of you again on Wednesday 14 June where the School will host a small reception in the coffee area between 11.00 and 13.00 for you and your guests, with a glass of bubbly and of course some cakes from Fisher and Donaldson.
Congratulations to Abd Alsattar Ardati, supervised by Dr Alex Voss, Dr Uta Hinrichs, Prof Ian Gent & Dr Angie Miguel, who has passed his PhD viva subject to minor corrections.
Many thanks to Prof Sampsa Hyysalo (Aalto University) for serving as the external examiner and to Dr Jason Jacques for being the internal examiner.
We had a wonderful time yesterday at the Doors Open day. We welcomed more than 200 visitors who were interested in learning more about our programs, facilities, and research.
We showcased some of our cutting-edge projects in artificial intelligence, human-computer interaction, and software engineering. Our visitors had the chance to interact with virtual reality systems, and smart devices. They also learned about the ethical and social implications of these technologies.
Special Thanks to Ruth Hoffmann, Ken Boyd and Kirsty Ross who organised the event. We would also like to thank everyone who attended the doors open day and made it a success. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. If you have any questions or feedback, please feel free to contact us at collaborate-cs@st-andrews.ac.uk.
We look forward to seeing you again soon!
Some of our Students held a BBQ to lighten the mood in the run up to assignment deadlines.
Findlay Sloan the 5th year rep and Georgia Chiswick 2nd year student and CS ball president were the grill masters for the BBQ.
Tomorrow, the School of Computer Science will host our first ever Doors Open event. We will be thrilled to welcome any and all visitors from outwith the School, whether you are locally based, from elsewhere in the UK or from overseas.
As a rapidly growing school, we are looking to build relationships with new partners and are keen to find out how we can help you, your companies and/or organisations to solve problems and improve processes.
Our Doors Open day will have over 60 individual exhibits and activities. Our presenters will be our staff and students, with representation from 1st year undergrad through to PhD students, academic and technical members of staff.
Congratulations to Ai Jiang who passed her viva in Jan and has been awarded the PhD degree today after minor corrections!
Thanks to Juan Ye as supervisor, the external Prof. Luke Chen from Ulster University and internal Dr. Areti Manataki.
Congratulations to Yunjia Wang who passed his PhD in February Supervised by Dr Ishbel Duncan.
Thanks are due to Alan Miller as the internal, and to Karen Renaud from Strathclyde as the external.
Yunjia was the last PhD student of Ishbel so we hope you can now enjoy your retirement!
Thank you to Professor Gordon Blair for delivering this year’s distinguished lecture on Computer Science and the environment.
The series of talks explained the role of computer science in addressing the massive challenges associated with a changing climate.
Feedback was positive and the series was enjoyed by all!
