Latest News Vinayak Receives VMware Systems Research Award by | Monday, January 10, 2022 Rashmi Vinayak, an assistant professor in the Computer Science Department (CSD), received the 2021 VMware Systems Research Award for her work to enhance computer system reliability and efficiency by combining coding-theoretic algorithms, machine learning models and systems. Read More SCS Faculty Receive Endowed Professorships by | Thursday, December 16, 2021 Four School of Computer Science professors recently received endowed faculty chairs in recognition of their work and to support further research. Read More Repulsive Energies Lead CMU Researchers To Rethink Computer Graphics by | Monday, December 13, 2021 Computer scientists at Carnegie Mellon University are making beautiful shapes by simulating forces that are literally repulsive — like the force between two charged particles. When computers reason about shapes, they assume that objects can move freely through each other, like a cartoon ghost passing through a wall. As anyone who has ever struggled to untangle a mass of headphone cables knows, that's not how real objects behave — yet it is a common and vexing problem in 3D modeling. Read More How To Give Users More Freedom in Secure Group Messaging Apps by | Tuesday, November 23, 2021 A Ph.D. candidate in Carnegie Mellon University's Computer Science Department wants group messaging apps like WhatsApp to give their users more control over their messages. Read More Innovative Caching Method Honored With Best Paper at SOSP by | Friday, November 19, 2021 Caching tiny objects can be a big deal to social media companies, IoT devices and other services scattered across the internet. Items like a tweet, the connections of a social network or identifying information about a smart doorbell may all be small in size — about 100 to 200 bytes — but delivering them quickly is largely important.
