Each year, the Cheriton Research Symposium concludes with a poster session for Cheriton Graduate Scholarship recipients. In total, 23 students participated in the 2018 Cheriton Research Symposium poster competition.
Posters were on display in the Great Hall in the Davis Centre, as graduate students explained the theory behind and the results and impacts of their research to David R. Cheriton and a panel of judges from the School of Computer Science.
We are delighted to announce the winners of the 2018 Cheriton Research Symposium poster competition.
First-place winners (tie) — $300 prize
Amine Mhedhbi and Siddhartha Sahu for “The Ubiquity of Large Graphs and Surprising Challenges of Graph Processing” (This research also received the VLDB 2018 Best Paper Award.)

Sajin Sasy for “ZeroTrace: Oblivious Memory Primitives from Intel SGX”
Second-place winners (tie) — $200 prize
Nik Unger for “How to Authenticate a Message and also Deny Authorship” (This research was also the runner-up for the 2018 Caspar Bowden Award for Outstanding Research in Privacy Enhancing Technologies.)
Linguan Yang for “Carousel: Low-Latency Transaction Processing for Globally-Distributed Data”
Third-place winners (tie) — $100
Thomas Lidbetter for “Additive Number Theory via Approximation by Regular Languages”
