End of Semester!

We wish students the best for their final exams.

Congratulations to Prof. Doshi for winning a grant from NIH for the project titled "Semantics and Services enabled Problem Solving Environment for Trypanosoma-cruzi". The 4-yr grant will award approx. $1.5M, which will be shared almost equally between WSU, UGA (Doshi and Rick Tarleton) and Stanford Univ.

Congratulations to Prof. Eileen Kraemer for winning the Best Paper award at the ACM Southeast Conference, for their paper "A Study of the Performance of Steering Tasks under Spatial Transformation of Input". The paper was co-authored with Professor M. Eduard Tudoreanu (Edi), a former student of Prof. Kraemer. The study described in the paper was performed as part of the UGA Human-Computer Interaction class.

Congratulations to Bobby McKnight, Pooya Shareghi and Brian Smith
