UTD
CS is a student-centered, research-focused department that strives to
bring out the best in teaching, research, and service to the community,
industry and the computing profession.
With 2,000+ undergraduate and graduate students, 48 tenure-track
faculty members, 19 full-time instructors, UTD CS is one of the largest
departments in the country today. UTD CS had a very productive 2013.
Some of the milestones reached in 2013 are highlighted
below:
New Faculty Hires: Dr.
Zygmunt Haas, world-renowned expert in wireless networks, joined the CS Department as a Distinguished Chair Professor (read

Anisotropic Triangles for Computer Graphics: Associate
Professor Dr. Xiaohu Guo’s group
has developed a technique that uses anisotropic triangles – triangles
with sides that vary in length depending on their direction – to create
3-D “mesh” computer graphics that more accurately approximate the shapes
of the original objects and in a shorter
amount of time than current techniques. The research appeared in ACM
SIGGRAPH’13 conference (read

Google App Engine Research Award: Associate
Professor Dr. Lawrence Chung’s
team of researchers
and students was one of seven worldwide recipients of the first-ever
Google App Engine Research Award for innovative academic and scientific
research expected to benefit society. The award allows Dr.
Chung’s
team to use Google cloud computing infrastructure to verify that their
benchmarking and simulation project results are viable in the real world
(read

Fourth NIST Cyber Security Framework Workshop: More
than 500 government, business and academic leaders charged with
protecting the nation’s infrastructure from cyber attacks met on the UT
Dallas campus for a three-day workshop from September 11-13. The Cyber
Security Framework Workshops were mandated by an
executive order from President Obama (read

Expanded K-12 outreach: The
CS department vastly expanded its K-12 outreach efforts in 2013 under the direction of Dr. Jey Veerasamy,
organizing dozens of camps and workshops for grade school students,
ranging from third graders to high school students. More than 2,000
students participated and learned computer programming in these camps.
Our efforts in 2013 culminated with the celebration
of CS Education Week (read more athttp://www.utdallas.edu/k12).
Cyber-Security Institute (CSI) Launched: 2013
also
saw the establishment of the Cyber Security Research and Education
Institute. The institute grew out of the Cyber Security Research and
Education Center that was established in 2004 under the direction of Dr.
Bhavani Thuraisingham. The institute has garnered $23 Million in funding for research and education since its founding in 2004 (read more at http://csi.utdallas.edu/).
Institute for Data Analytics and Performance Management (IDAPM) Launched: This
industry-oriented institute is focused on helping the industry
(Dallas/Fort Worth area is home to more than 800 high-tech companies)
harness “big data” analytics to improve their products and business
practices (read more at http://www.utdallas.edu/idapm/).
