We'd like to extend a big welcome to Prof. Shuang (Sean) Luan, Ph.D.,
who just joined the department this fall as an assistant professor. Dr. Luan
earned his Ph.D. and M.S. in computer science from the University of Notre
Dame, Notre Dame, IN and his B.S. in Computer Science and Engineering from
the Harbin Institute of Technology, Harbin, China.
Dr. Luan's research interests include computational medicine and
biomedical engineering, algorithm design, analysis and implementation, and
computational geometry. He will collaborate with the Department of
Radiology and Radiation Oncology in the UNM medical school on developing
treatment planning algorithms/software for radiotherapy.
Undergraduate advisors (UAs) will be available in the CS Computer Lab, Farris 309 for tutoring. See the Tutoring page for details.
A PhD graduate from the Computer Science Department, Derek Smith, had a research article published in the highly-regarded Science magazine (July 16, 2004, pp. 371-376). The paper, titled "Mapping the antigenic and genetic evolution of influenza virus" is a significant extension of the work begun in his 1997 dissertation, The cross-reactive immune response.
The Department of Computer Science is offering three scholarships for
the 2004-2005 Academic Year. The Deadline for all three scholarships will be
September 10, 2004.
