The first Casey Feldman Award has been given to Sean Wiese for his work with Boulder Food Rescue, a local organization that rescues and redistributes perishable food "waste" to charities that serve homeless and at-risk individuals. The Casey Feldman Foundation has made possible a program at CU that offers stipends...

“I saw an opportunity to use the computer as a virtual laboratory,” Aaron Clauset says. “Although I came out of the natural sciences, I was fascinated by the complexity of messy systems like biological evolution and human behavior.”

Computer Science PhD student Daniel Knights was selected as the winner of the College of Engineering and Applied Science's Outstanding Dissertation Award. The award was given at the May 2012 Engineering Recognition Ceremony. Dan's thesis, entitled "Predictive Modeling of Metagenomes," involves the use of machine learning and statistical techniques to...

Dilbert-esque stereotypes aside, no one can argue that all fields have computational needs. From medicine to math, everyone is deluged by data and looking for a way to make sense of it all. Debra Goldberg, a BioFrontiers faculty member and assistant professor of Computer Science at the University of Colorado Boulder, is her subject’s biggest fan.

Climbers at the Boulder Rock Club, who were bribed with free t-shirts to test the routes, actually preferred one of the difficulty levels designed with the computer. For Caleb Phillips, that was more than enough.

Grad students' creation embeds a network of microphones into a shirt to detect the direction of sounds and display them via vibrating winglets on the shirt’s surface.
