exploreCSR summer 2023: Computing Research

In person workshop date: May 25th and 26th, 2023

Welcome

The University of Nevada, Las Vegas Computer Science is proud to partner with Google Research to offer exploreCSR for a rich research experience for undergraduate students. We encourage students from historically-underrepresented groups to apply, including but not limited to -- Hispanic, women, students of color, first-generation college students, students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, and LGBTQ+ students.

Our goal is to expose students to all aspects of computing research from faculty from different universities and researchers at Google, gain their confidence to pursue graduate studies, develop practical skills, and achieve a sense of belonging in computing research.

This workshop covers three research areas:

  1. data mining and artificial intelligence
  2. pervasive computing and healthcare
  3. tensor decompositions and analysis

FAQ

Yes.

Yes. Please note that UNLV is on Pacific Time, many of our events will be in those working hours. In addition, stipend support may not work for people who are not in the US due to some constraints.

The goal of the exploreCSR program is to support underrepresented students to pursue computing research (the program). Though we consider all applicants, we focus on this goal.

Not this time.

Short one paragraph is good. We would like to match you to the right people and projects.

It should go through. If you're worried, please submit another one.
