The Department of Computer Science is hosting a poster/demo showcase to highlight approximately a dozen undergraduate summer research projects. Projects include work in Climate Modelling, Financial Communications Analysis, an automatic Music Generator using Neural Networks, and the development of a Facebook Privacy App.

The Undergraduate Summer Research Poster Session is being held on Friday, August 12 from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., in the Bahen Centre for Information Technology (40 St. George Street), Room 3200. The event is organized in a drop-in, open house format.

"This event showcases some of the excellent work carried out by our undergraduate students on research projects or for course credit," comments event organizer Francois Pitt (Undergraduate Liaison and Senior Lecturer). "The projects reflect the breadth of areas within our department."

An event poster, with a current list of projects being presented on Friday, is attached to this message.
