CSE Graduate Student News
CSE student work accepted to PLoS Computational Biology
CSE graduate student Vassilios Christopoulos’ paper, co-written with CSE Associate Professor Paul Schrater, was recently accepted for publication in the highly prestigious journal PLoS Computational Biology. The journal is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal featuring works of exceptional significance that further our understanding of living systems at all scales through the application of computational methods.
For their paper, titled "Grasping Objects with Environmentally Induced Position Uncertainty," they studied human strategies in grasping objects with position uncertainty and compared human performance against normative predictions. The results provide the first demonstration
that humans compensate for uncertainty in a complex purposive task.
CSE graduate student Rohit Gupta receives student abstract prize
CSE graduate student Rohit Gupta was selected to present his work on "Colorectal cancer despite colonoscopy" in the clinical science plenary session in DDW 2009, an international conference on gastroenterology recently held in Chicago and attended by more than 15,000 GI professionals. Out of 4,475 submissions, Gupta's work was among the only 4 selected based on a rigorous 4-stage selection process and audience appeal, for presentation at the clinical science plenary session.
Gupta also received the student abstract prize for this work, which included a certificate and an honorarium of $1000. Gupta was a Biomedical Informatics and Computational Biology (BICB) supported graduate trainee co-advised by Dr. Vipin Kumar (CSE, UMN) and Dr Piet C. de Groen (Mayo Clinic).
Best Student Paper Award
CSE graduate student Jie Chen was one of 3 winners chosen for the 2009 SIAM Student Paper Prize for his paper “On the Tensor SVD and the Optimal Low Rank Orthogonal Approximation of Tensors.” The award will be given at the 2009 SIAM annual meeting July 6-10 in Denver Colorado, and includes a $1,000 cash prize. The paper was co-authored by Professor Yousef Saad.
