Computer Science Seminar Series

Each semester, The Program in Computer Science invites diverse scholars of international distinction from institutions all over the globe to deliver talks, and engage in collaborative conversations with our faculty, researchers, students, and staff.

In response to the global pandemic, these talks migrated online throughout 2020-2021 and continued to be a huge success, allowing conversations and collaborations to continue online despite the distance.
