This page contains links to nearly all of the major resources you’ll need as a CS&E graduate student at the University of Minnesota.
Congratulations to Ze Tian and Huanan Zhang. Their paper, "Sparse Group Selection on Fused Lasso Components for Identifying Group-specific DNA Copy Number Variations," won the Best Student Paper Award at the 2012 IEEE International Conference on Data Mining (ICDM). The ICDM conference is an established top conference for presenting the world's premier research in data mining. Their work in the paper introduced a novel computational model to discover cancerous genomic patterns for hidden patient subpopulations from DNA copy number change data. Ze graduated in 2012 and now works in the Bing group of Microsoft. Huanan is currently in the third-year of his PhD study. Their adviser is Assistant Professor Rui Kuang.
Ph.D. student Jaya Kawale won the Best Graduate Student Research Award in the ACM Student Research Competition (SRC) at the Grace Hopper Conference. The award carries a medal presented at the conference and a cash prize of $500. By winning the award, Kawale has also advanced to the Grand Finals of the 2013 ACM Student Research Competition. Kawale is advised by Professor Vipin Kumar and works on an NSF Expeditions in Computing project on Understanding Climate Change.
Congratulations to the following students who have been awarded Doctoral Dissertation Fellowships for the 2012-2013 year!
Raamesh Deshpande, Mike Evans, James Faghmous, Nan Jiang, Jaya Kawale, Mikhil Masli, Esha Nerurkar, Mohamad Sarwat, Ben Vandersluis
