Three faculty members of the School of Computing have recently been promoted to new positions! These promotions will be effective starting on August 1st, 2025. The faculty members who were promoted include: Dr. Ramviyas Nattanmai Parasuraman, who has been promoted to an Associate Professor with tenure. Dr.

This past spring break, seventeen first-year students from UGA’s School of Computing had the opportunity to embark on an immersive nine-day journey to London as a part of the World of Computing Connect Abroad program. The study abroad was led by Principal Lecturer of Computer Science Bradley Barnes.

This spring, UGA and the School of Computing hosted its annual Research Day – showcasing the innovation and research endeavors of UGA’s faculty and students. The event fostered an environment for intellectual exchange. Over 80 graduate and undergraduate students and 25 faculty were in attendance, showcasing the passions for transformational research in the School of Computing. 

Starting this year, the School of Computing has instituted new awards to recognize students with publications in top venues. The first cohort of advisees was announced during the annual research day on 18^th April. 

The awardees were:   
 

Aiman Munir for their publication Anchor-Oriented Localized Voronoi Partitioning for GPS-denied Multi-Robot Coverage at IROS ’24.
  

Prashant Doshi, a professor in the School of Computing, is transforming artificial intelligence research into real-world applications through his work on human-robot collaboration and inverse reinforcement learning. His research has broad implications across industries, including agriculture, where he is developing AI-driven collaborative robots (cobots) designed to streamline produce processing operations. To bring this technology to market, Doshi co-founded InversAI, a company focused on commercializing AI-powered automation.

New grant program builds upon institute’s 40 years of discovery and innovation

Four university-wide research projects designed to advance interdisciplinary research in artificial intelligence have been awarded seed grants by the University of Georgia’s Institute for Artificial Intelligence.

When people hold a world information in their electronics, can they find community within them? Eddie Alexander Gomez Schieber explores this question by looking at the power of communities created in the algorithmic world and the positive impact it can have.

As Machine Learning tools become increasingly commonplace, their ubiquity is accompanied by a growing need to use the tools on mobile devices. From the application side, the endless possibilities go well beyond common speech or image recognition. And the growing computational capacity of smartphones creates the necessary room for improved hand-held AI.

This spring, teams from UGA’s School of Computing competed in the South East Region of the annual algorithmic programming contest held by International Competitive Programming Contest (ICPC). ICPC is the oldest and largest programming contest in the world.  The competition was held at UNG Dahlonega, one of the sites for the Southeast region of the competition. The competition lasted five hours and each team was made up of a maximum of three members trying to solve sets of coding problems with varying difficulties.
