On Friday, September 27, 2024, the School of Computer Science held its annual Cheriton Research Symposium, a showcase of research excellence made possible by David R. Cheriton’s generous investment in computer science research.
The event opened with presentations by Cheriton Fellows Eric Blais and Semih Salihoğlu. Their presentations were followed by a panel discussion on the future of computer science education, featuring Professors David R. Cheriton, Carmen Bruni, Gordon Cormack and Mei Nagappan, with Professor Dave Tompkins serving as moderator.
