We are pleased to announce the creation of a new Computing Education Research Centre here in the University of Cambridge Department of Computer Science and Technology.
For the second year running, the judges of a prestigious academic award have commended a former student here for their research contributions to computer science.
"Don’t worry that you might not fit in. When you get here, you will naturally find other people like you." So says former comprehensive school pupil Tanya Morris who has just finished her first year as a Computer Science undergraduate.
We are taking part in the University of Cambridge Virtual Open Days from 5-18 July, offering prospective applicants opportunities to find out what it’s like to study Computer Science here.
A Livery Company rooted in the medieval craft of producing gold wire for embroidering tapestries and robes yesterday presented student Jonáš Fiala with an award celebrating its modern day use in computer hardware.
Many congratulations to Professor Andy Hopper, our colleague of many years and a former Head of Department, whose work was recognised with a knighthood in the Queen's Birthday Honours.
Fifty years ago this month, the first ever Computer Science undergraduates in Cambridge sat their finals before going out to face a very uncertain future. What they succeeded in doing next should offer hope to this year’s finalists.
Congratulations to first-year undergraduates Marc Harvey-Hill, Yash Shah, Nicole Choong and Matthew Elliot who teamed up to take part in a Hackathon on 'Embracing Neurodiversity' – and won.
Dr Hatice Gunes, a Reader in Affective Intelligence and Robotics here, wants to create emotionally intelligent robots that can help make us more resilient to life’s challenges. "I believe they can improve quality of life," she says.
The question 'How many robots does it take to screw in a lightbulb?' was not a joke. It was the start of The Wheeler Lecture 2021 where our guest speaker Professor Daniela Rus invited us to "reimagine robots".
