About
The CS Research Presentation Series is the go-to place to expose yourself to the latest research in different areas of Computer Science. Every week, a student or faculty member presents recently published top research, followed by a discussion. After each presentation, there is time to socialize.
The series is a Qualified Honors College “think” experience.
CSRP is organized by the Department of Computer Science together with the Student Research Committee of the Rowan University ACM Student Chapter.
Want to present? Read the information for presenters (PDF), then contact Dr. Ivanov to reserve a spot.
