2016-17 CS Distinguished Lecture Series Announced

 

The Distinguished Lecturer Series (DLS) is a notably successful annual program that attracts accomplished scientists to Stony Brook University. DLS brings together undergraduates, graduate students, and faculty to discuss current topics in computer science and the series motivates students to become involved in research initiatives. Distinguished lecturers have the opportunity to share their knowledge with a broad constituency and the series bolsters the stature of the Department of Computer Science on a national-level. Since it began in the fall 2000, DLS has developed into a premier forum for innovators in computer science from around the world.

This year's 2016-17 DLS kicks off with Professor Nick Feamster from Princeton University. Dr. Feamster's talk is entitled "Information Control in the Digital Age". Dr. Feamster's abstract will be posted a few days prior to the talk. The full DLS scheduled is presented below. All DLS talks take place at 2:30p in Room 120 of the New CS Building.

If you have questions about the talk or if you would like to present at future DLS talks, please contact Professor Jie Gao, jgao [at] cs.stonybrook.edu.
