Two faculty members from the David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science have been elected to leadership positions in the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM).
Co-authored with Aleksandrs Belovs (University of Latvia), PhD student, Ansis Rosmansis has been awarded the Ronald V. Book prize for best student paper at the 2013 IEEE Conference on Computational Complexity for his paper, "On the power of non-adaptive learning graphs"
The Ronald V. Book prize is given annually to the most outstanding paper written solely by one or more students.
PhD student, Tiffany Inglis (Craig. S. Kaplan) was awarded second place in the graduate category at the 2013 Association for Computing Machinery Student Research Competition Grand Finals.

Omid Ardakanian was awarded best paper, at Association for Computing Machinery's e-Energy conference this May for the paper "Distributed Control of Electric Vehicle Charging" (O. Ardakanian, C. Rosenberg, and S. Keshav).
Jeff Orchard, Associate Professor in the David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science, sat down with Researcher on Call to discuss his research on theoretical and computational neuroscience in an episode of Science Scoop.
Orchard's research aims to uncover mechanisms that underlie the computational and organizational aspects of the brain. For example, how oscillations are used, and how different brain regions coordinate to perform computations.
