On April 6, the College of Engineering and Computer Science celebrated Nunan Research & Lecture Day. The day featured a record number of research posters being presented by graduate student candidates from each of the college’s four departments. “The significant increase in the number of posters, from about 30 in 2008 to 130 in 2015, clearly points to the extensive growth in our Ph.D. programs within the college and is a testimony to our outstanding faculty, the numbers of which have expanded by more than 30 new faculty hires in this time period,” says Mark Glauser, associate dean for Research and Graduate Programs.

The theme of this year’s Nunan Day was “Cyber, Wireless and Big Data.” A number of faculty working in these research areas presented short talks about the importance and impact of this theme. This year, the college partnered with the Center for Advanced Technology in Computer Applications and Software Engineering (CASE) to present this event.

Additionally, the event featured a talk by H. Vincent Poor, dean of the School of Engineering and Applied Science at Princeton University. His talk was entitled, “Fundamental Limits on Information Security and Privacy.”

Nunan Research Day was established in 2006 with a generous gift from the estate of alumnus James D. Nunan and his wife, Marge.

The college presented a number of best poster awards to graduate students. The winners are:
