CSE held its ninth annual CSE Graduate Student Honors Competition on November 12, 2012. The competition was the culmination of a process that narrowed the field of entrants to four finalists, each of whom gave a summary presentation on an area of their research. CSE faculty and industry sponsors from Northrop Grumman ranked the finalists’ presentations.

Our congratulations to all four finalists who presented! Following are details on their presentations:

Armin Alaghi: “Enhancing Vision via Stochastic Computing” (First Place). Advisor: John Hayes.
