The AI Institute celebrates this year’s Catacosinos Fellowship awardees.

Earlier this year, AI and computer science doctoral students Bo Li, Fatemeh Almodaresi and Zijun Wei were recognized by the Catacosinos Fellowship Fund for their research and academic accomplishments.

“For several decades, Catacosinos awards have supported computer science students. In fact, one of the earliest awardees was Prof. C.R. Ramakrishnan, a professor and alum in the department who leads our selection committee,” said Samir Das, chair of the Department of Computer Science in the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences.

Recent Stony Brook Department of Computer Science PhD recipient, Abbas Razaghpanah (‘15 MS, December ‘19 PhD), was interviewed as part of an NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt story (“Privacy and Power”) about online and mobile app security. Razaghpanah appears in a segment called “What Your Apps Say About You.”

Several members of the Department of Computer Science faculty were honored at Stony Brook University’s Annual Awards and Recognition Dinner on October 3rd at the Center for Leadership and Service. Hosted by Interim President Michael Bernstein, the event celebrated 2019's Faculty Achievement and Chancellor’s Award recipients.

"Broadridge's investment in the Department of Computer Science has been mutually rewarding,” said Fotis Sotiropoulos, Dean, College of Engineering and Applied Sciences. “We are immensely grateful for their commitment to real-world learning and support of our graduate research projects.
