The Event
A celebration of selected research accomplishments from 2024–2025 by UMBC faculty, staff, and students in the Department of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering. For faculty, researchers, staff, students (all levels), and visitors (open to the public). There will be a single track combining computer science, electrical engineering, computer engineering, AI, cybersecurity, and data science. There will be free lunch and an invited talk by Dr. Maksim Eren (Los Alamos National Lab), UMBC PhD 2024.
What to Submit
Faculty Talks. We seek UMBC CSEE faculty and staff to present their best research accomplishments from 2024–2025.
There will be five faculty talks, each 20 minutes long. The talks should describe recent concrete research accomplishments
(not on-going research) understandable to most CSEE faculty. Submit your name, lab, talk title and informative abstract in ascii
(maximum 350 words).
Student Research Prizes and Talks. We invite UMBC CSEE undergraduate and graduate students to have their best
research papers considered for the prizes ($100 gift certificate each) of Best Undergraduate Research, Best MS Research, and
Best PhD Research. Winners will present their research in 20-minute talks. Submit name, lab, title, informative abstract (in ascii), one
technical report (a pdf file), a one-page description of research novelty and significance, and a letter of approval from your advisor. To qualify, the
work must have been written, submitted, or accepted for publication in a refereed conference or journal between April 1,
2024—March 31, 2025. Prizes are awarded to the research, rather than to individuals. Award criteria include:
- Scientific merit (significance, originality, non-triviality, correctness, completeness) of a single submitted paper
- Effective technical writing (clarity, proper English usage, organization), with some preference in close cases given to students awarded degrees in
2024–2025. Eligibility does not require that the paper be accepted or submitted, though some preference may be given to
papers that have been accepted to a peer-reviewed conference, journal, or book.
Student Research Posters and Prizes. We seek UMBC CSEE undergraduate and graduate students to present their best
research accomplishments from 2024–2025 in posters. Submit name, lab, poster title and informative abstract in ascii (at most 350
words) approved by your research advisor. Prizes ($50 gift certificate each) to best three posters, voted by professors on basis of
scientific merit and effective presentation, using range voting.
