An eager crowd packed Gates Hall for the Association of Computer Science Undergraduates’ (ACSU) Research Night on Monday, March 13, showcasing the latest work from students across the Cornell Ann S. Bowers College of Computing and Information Science.
Held every semester, Research Night exists to encourage undergraduate students to pursue research opportunities. Historically, organizers of the event have targeted computer science students, but now welcome students from each of Cornell Bowers CIS’s three departments: computer science, information science, and statistics and data science.
Through research, students can work at the “frontier of knowledge,” said Kavita Bala , dean of Cornell Bowers CIS, in her opening remarks. “The kind of research we’re doing in Cornell – in computing, in CS, and more broadly in the college – is really upending traditional, centuries-old institutions,” Bala noted, citing the fields of finance, transportation, and healthcare as examples.
Following opening remarks, a panel of undergraduate researchers – Emmett Breen ’24, Benny Rubin ’25, and Yolanda Wang ’25 – answered audience questions and discussed how they got involved with research, the advantages and disadvantages of research as compared to an industry internship, and the experience they gained beyond technical skills.
Justin Hsu , assistant professor of computer science, moderated the Q&A session, which included questions submitted by attendees via an online portal.
Panelists encouraged attendees to pursue research opportunities and noted the barriers for entry are fewer than students may imagine.
“In a research lab, there are different kinds of jobs,” said Wang, who studies computer vision and generative models, a type of AI model that creates new text, images, or videos based on training data. “You don’t need to delve into the deepest, most theoretical thing from the very beginning.”
Both Wang and Breen reached out to professors after their first-year fall semesters and were told they needed to take more courses. However, options existed for both of them: Wang did human-computer interaction research over the summer, while Breen – who studies systems and networking – was assigned a project by the professor he continues to do research with to help him prepare and gain more skills.
“People who don’t rush through the curriculum [aren’t] at a disadvantage at all, as long as you make an effort to find whatever area of computer science you’re most interested in,” Breen said.
After the panel, attendees engaged with graduate researchers who presented their work during a poster session. The researchers recognized the opportunity at ACSU Research Night to increase the profile of their work.
Presenting during the poster session, Wentao Guo ’22, M.Eng ’23, was excited specifically by the chance to bring “attention to my work,” which involves deep learning models.
Joy Ming, a doctoral student in the field of information science, presented human-computer interaction research that seeks to support healthcare workers who work in the homes of older adults and people with disabilities.
“A lot of the work that they’re doing is really undervalued or invisible, and so my project’s goal is to make that a little more visible using data collection and data analysis,” Ming said.
Interested students can take part in research during the academic year, either for course credit or pay. In addition, the Bowers Undergraduate Research Experience (BURE) is accepting applications until March 27. Formerly known as the Computer Science Undergraduate Research Program (CSURP), the 10-week summer program provides students guidance from faculty and Ph.D. students, funding of up to $5,000, a series of talks on technical and career projects, and social experiences with other program participants.

A packed house for CS Research Night
October 6, 2022
It was a standing-room-only crowd at the fall 2022 CS Research Night , an event held each semester to showcase the range of research opportunities available to undergraduate computer science majors at the university.
The Association of Computer Science Undergraduates (ACSU) hosted the event on Oct. 3rd, which featured opening remarks by Kavita Bala , dean of the Cornell Ann S. Bowers College of Computing and Information Science, and a panel discussion, moderated by Justin Hsu , assistant professor of computer science. Following the panel, students filled the hallways of Gates Hall, where they chatted with doctoral students about research opportunities in their labs.
“There are just so many exciting things going on in this building and we want you to be exposed to that,” Bala said. “We have world-class faculty and students who are changing the future of this field.”
Research experience is a valuable component of an undergraduate education, giving students a taste of what graduate school is like, while also enabling them to develop useful skills, and add to their resumes. Unlike in classes, where students work on defined problems, “research is the open frontier,” Bala said. “That open-endedness is something that you don’t really get exposed to but that is important to your education. It’s both scary and exhilarating at the same time.”
"Cornell faculty and graduate students are conducting cutting-edge research in all areas of computer science, but most undergraduates don't know how to take advantage of these opportunities,” Hsu said. “A primary goal of Research Night is to make undergraduate research seem less intimidating and encourage undergraduates to get involved."
![CS Research Night A color photo of woman presenting research to others](https://cis.cornell.edu/sites/default/files/styles/small/public/media/IMG_7655.jpg?itok=WN6EFBej)
Students can engage in research during the semester, either for payment or course credit, or they can apply for a summer research experience through the Computer Science Undergraduate Research Program (CSURP).
Many panelists at Research Night got their start through CSURP. The panelists included undergraduates Anya Ji, Ruyu Yan, Charles Sherk, and graduate student Katherine Lee. They answered audience questions ranging from, “How do you get started?” to “How do you balance research and coursework?”
They advised students to approach professors or graduate students who are doing compelling work to find research opportunities, and not to let a less-than-perfect GPA stop them. Even for students interested in industry, they counseled that a research experience will yield transferable skills and can help clarify their desired career path.
While the panelists were encouraging, they were honest about the challenges. “There can be full weeks of banging your head at something, and then weeks of being in the flow,” said Lee, who works on language models in David Mimno’s group.
After the panel, undergraduate students had the opportunity to talk with graduate students about their work and potential openings in their labs during a poster session. The topics spanned computer science, with projects in machine learning, robotics, computer languages, natural language processing, and computer graphics.
Lauren Greenhill, a junior computer science major at the poster session, has been doing research with Space Systems Design Studio since her freshman year, working on a tiny satellite, called a CubeSat, that will be released from the International Space Station later this academic year. Specifically, she is programming a light sail to open up at just the right time, which will detach from the CubeSat and propel itself using solar energy.
“I think it’s awesome,” Greenhill said. “It is the best part of my undergrad experience. I get to deploy what I learn in class in the real world.”

General Information about Undergraduate Research
Opportunities for undergraduates to conduct research in engineering, the applied sciences, and in related fields abound at Harvard. As part of your coursework, or perhaps as part of individual research opportunities working with professors, you will have the chance to take part in or participate in some extraordinary projects covering topics ranging from bioengineering to cryptography to environmental engineering.
Our dedicated undergraduate research facilities and Active Learning Labs also provide opportunities for students to engage in hands-on learning. We encourage undergraduates from all relevant concentrations to tackle projects during the academic year and/or over the summer.
Keep in mind, many students also pursue summer research at private companies and labs as well as at government institutions like the National Institutes of Health.
If you have any questions, please contact or stop by the Office of Academic Programs, located in the Science and Engineering Complex, Room 1.101, in Allston.
Research FAQs
The SEAS website has a wealth of information on the variety of cross-disciplinary research taking place at SEAS. You can view the concentrations available at SEAS here , as well as the research areas that faculty in these concentrations participate in. Note that many research areas span multiple disciplines; participating in undergraduate research is an excellent way to expand what you learn beyond the content of the courses in your concentration!
To view which specific faculty conduct research in each area, check out the All Research Areas section of the website. You can also find a helpful visualization tool to show you the research interests of all the faculty at SEAS, or you can filter the faculty directory by specific research interests. Many faculty’s directory entry will have a link to their lab’s website, where you can explore the various research projects going on in their lab.
The Centers & Initiatives page shows the many Harvard research centers that SEAS faculty are members of (some based at SEAS, some based in other departments at Harvard).
Beyond the website, there are plenty of research seminars and colloquia happening all year long that you can attend to help you figure out what exactly you are interested in. Keep an eye on the calendar at https://events.seas.harvard.edu !
There are several events that are designed specifically for helping undergraduate students get involved with research at SEAS, such as the Undergraduate Research Open House and Research Lightning Talks . This event runs every fall in early November and is a great opportunity to talk to representatives from research labs all over SEAS. You can find recordings from last year’s Open House on the SEAS Undergraduate Research Canvas site .
Most of our faculty have indicated that curiosity, professionalism, commitment and an open mind are paramount. Good communication skills, in particular those that align with being professional are critical. These skills include communicating early with your mentor if you are going to be late to or miss a meeting, or reaching out for help if you are struggling to figure something out. Good writing skills and math (calculus in particular) are usually helpful, and if you have programming experience that may be a plus for many groups. So try to take your math and programming courses early (first year) including at least one introductory concentration class, as those would also add to your repertoire of useful skills.
Adapted from the Life Sciences Research FAQs
Start by introducing yourself and the purpose of your inquiry (e.g. you’d like to speak about summer research opportunities in their lab). Next, mention specific aspects of their research and state why they interest you (this requires some background research on your part). Your introduction will be stronger if you convey not only some knowledge of the lab’s scientific goals, but also a genuine interest in their research area and technical approaches.
In the next paragraph tell them about yourself, what your goals are and why you want to do research with their group. Describe previous research experience (if you have any). Previous experience is, of course, not required for joining many research groups, but it can be helpful. Many undergraduates have not had much if any previous experience; professors are looking for students who are highly motivated to learn, curious and dependable.
Finally, give a timeline of your expected start date, how many hours per week you can devote during the academic term, as well as your summer plans.
Most faculty will respond to your email if it is clear that you are genuinely interested in their research and have not simply sent out a generic email. If you don’t receive a response within 7-10 days, don’t be afraid to follow up with another email. Faculty are often busy and receive a lot of emails, so be patient.
There are several ways that undergraduate research can be funded at SEAS. The Program for Research in Science and Engineering ( PRISE ) is a 10-week summer program that provides housing in addition to a stipend for summer research. The Harvard College Research Program ( HCRP ) is available during the academic year as well as the summer. The Harvard University Center for the Environment ( HUCE ) has a summer undergraduate research program. The Harvard College Office of Undergraduate Research and Fellowships ( URAF ) has more information on these, as well as many other programs.
Students that were granted Federal Work Study as part of their financial aid package can use their Work Study award to conduct undergraduate research as well (research positions should note that they are work-study eligible to utilize this funding source).
Research labs may have funding available to pay students directly, though we encourage you to seek out one of the many funding options available above first.
Yes! Some students choose to do research for course credit instead of for a stipend. To do so for a SEAS concentrations, students must enroll in one of the courses below and submit the relevant Project Application Form on the Course’s Canvas Page:
- Applied Mathematics 91r (Supervised Reading and Research)
- Computer Science 91r (Supervised Reading and Research)
- Engineering Sciences 91r (Supervised Reading and Research)
In general, you should expect to spend a minimum of one semester or one summer working on a project. There are many benefits to spending a longer period of time dedicated to a project. It’s important to have a conversation early with your research PI (“Principal Investigator”, the faculty who runs your research lab or program) to discuss the intended timeline of the first phase of your project, and there will be many additional opportunities to discuss how it could be extended beyond that.
For students who are satisfied with their research experience, remaining in one lab for the duration of their undergraduate careers can have significant benefits. Students who spend two or three years in the same lab often find that they have become fully integrated members of the research group. In addition, the continuity of spending several years in one lab group often allows students to develop a high level of technical expertise that permits them to work on more sophisticated projects and perhaps produce more significant results, which can also lead to a very successful senior thesis or capstone design project.
However, there is not an obligation to commit to a single lab over your time at Harvard, and there are many reasons you may consider a change:
- your academic interests or concentration may have changed and thus the lab project is no longer appropriate
- you would like to study abroad (note that there is no additional cost in tuition for the term-time study abroad and Harvard has many fellowships for summer study abroad programs)
- your mentor may have moved on and there is no one in the lab to direct your project (it is not unusual for a postdoctoral fellow who is co-mentoring student to move as they secure a faculty position elsewhere)
- the project may not be working and the lab hasn’t offered an alternative
- or there may be personal reasons for leaving. It is acceptable to move on
If you do encounter difficulties, but you strongly prefer to remain in the lab, get help. Talk to your PI or research mentor, your faculty advisor or concentration advisor, or reach out to [email protected] for advice. The PI may not be aware of the problem and bringing it to their attention may be all that is necessary to resolve it.
Accepting an undergraduate into a research group and providing training for them is a very resource-intensive proposition for a lab, both in terms of the time commitment required from the lab mentors as well as the cost of laboratory supplies, reagents, computational time, etc. It is incumbent upon students to recognize and respect this investment.
- One way for you to acknowledge the lab’s investment is to show that you appreciate the time that your mentors set aside from their own experiments to teach you. For example, try to be meticulous about letting your mentor know well in advance when you are unable to come to the lab as scheduled, or if you are having a hard time making progress.
- On the other hand, showing up in the lab at a time that is not on your regular schedule and expecting that your mentor will be available to work with you is unrealistic because they may be in the middle of an experiment that cannot be interrupted for several hours.
- In addition to adhering to your lab schedule, show you respect the time that your mentor is devoting to you by putting forth a sincere effort when you are in the lab. This includes turning off your phone, ignoring text messages, avoiding surfing the web and chatting with your friends in the lab etc. You will derive more benefit from a good relationship with your lab both in terms of your achievements in research and future interactions with the PI if you demonstrate a sincere commitment to them.
- There will be “crunch” times, maybe even whole weeks, when you will be unable to work in the lab as many hours as you normally would because of midterms, finals, paper deadlines, illness or school vacations. This is fine and not unusual for students, but remember to let your mentor know in advance when you anticipate absences. Disappearing from the lab for days without communicating with your mentor is not acceptable. Your lab mentor and PI are much more likely to be understanding about schedule changes if you keep the lines of communication open but they may be less charitable if you simply disappear for days or weeks at a time. From our conversations with students, we have learned that maintaining good communication and a strong relationship with the lab mentor and/or PI correlates well with an undergraduate’s satisfaction and success in the laboratory.
- Perhaps the best way for you to demonstrate your appreciation of the lab’s commitment is to approach your project with genuine interest and intellectual curiosity. Regardless of how limited your time in the lab may be, especially for first-years and sophomores, it is crucial to convey a sincere sense of engagement with your project and the lab’s research goals. You want to avoid giving the impression that you are there merely to fulfill a degree requirement or as a prerequisite for a post-graduate program.
There are lots of ways to open a conversation around how to get involved with research.
- For pre-concentrators: Talk to a student who has done research. The Peer Concentration Advisor (PCA) teams for Applied Math , Computer Science and Engineering mention research in their bios and would love to talk about their experience. Each PCA team has a link to Find My PCA which allows you to be matched with a PCA based on an interest area such as research.
- For SEAS concentrators: Start a conversation with your ADUS, DUS, or faculty advisor about faculty that you are interested in working with. If you don’t have a list already, start with faculty whose courses you have taken or faculty in your concentration area. You may also find it helpful to talk with graduate student TFs in your courses about the work they are doing, as well as folks in the Active Learning Labs, as they have supported many students working on research and final thesis projects.
- For all students: Attend a SEAS Research Open House event to be connected with lab representatives that are either graduate students, postdocs, researchers or the PI for the labs. If you can’t attend the event, contact information is also listed on the Undergraduate Research Canvas page for follow-up in the month after the event is hosted.
For any student who feels like they need more support to start the process, please reach out to [email protected] so someone from the SEAS Taskforce for Undergraduate Research can help you explore existing resources on the Undergraduate Research Canvas page . We especially encourage first-generation and students from underrepresented backgrounds to reach out if you have any questions.

Undergraduate Research at Purdue CS
Current Undergraduate Research Opportunities
The Department of Computer Science, as well as Purdue University as a whole, has multiple research faculty engaging in research for a variety of areas both within the field of computer science and beyond. For an undergraduate student looking to join in research the process may seem daunting, so here are some FAQ's and resources to assist in getting started.
When do I get involved in research?
Undergraduate students can engage in research opportunities as early as their freshman year. This will depend on the research project as well as the professor's requirements and skillsets needed. Some professors will want you to have taken a specific course before you start research, while others say it's never too early to engage in a project, especially since you'll do a lot of your learning on the job.
How do I get involved in research?
The first step is finding the type of research you would like to be involved in (see next question for a list of websites). You should talk with faculty who were or are your instructors for ideas and insights. If you are approaching faculty that you have not had for a course, be sure you write a clear and detailed email about your request to be part of their research and see if you can meet them in person to discuss further.
Your academic advisor is also a great resource. They can discuss how to develop the skills you'll need for research, help manage your expectations, assist with the paperwork you need to register once you are on a research project as well as provide other insight and resources.
Excelling in coursework leads to research opportunities
What opportunities are there to do research?
Research is available to students not only through the academic year, but can be an alternative to internships during the summer. Besides research on Purdue's campus (either through the Department of Computer Science or other departments on campus) there are resources and opportunities to do research on other campuses across the country or with other organizations.

UT CS is the largest top 10 CS department in the U.S. Our research program has the breadth you would expect from such a department. We have built an autonomous car, developed algorithms to map the tree of life, designed compilers for multicore architectures and examined ways to assure security and privacy on the Internet. We are ranked in the top 10 in the country in four research areas (Programming Languages, Artificial Intelligence, Systems and Theory). See the Department's research page for a more comprehensive description of our research program and to start finding faculty who work in the areas that interest you.
What research involves:
The Department of Computer Science actively encourages undergraduates to get involved in research. Your long-term career goal may be to become a software engineer, an entrepreneur, a professor, an industrial researcher, or a patent attorney. Regardless, an undergraduate research experience can be an eye-opening and rewarding experience.
Research involves:
- Being innovative
- Accepting responsibility
- Taking risks
- Basking in the glow of a new result
How to get involved in research:
UT encourages all its students to get involved in research. The College of Natural Sciences has created a web page to help science students find research opportunities . There are two ways to begin your research at UT:
- Take a Freshman Research Initiative (FRI) course.
- EUREKA is a UT-wide effort to encourage undergraduate research. Check their site for additional opportunities.
- Find a faculty member and begin working on a project. Students generally do this during their junior and/or senior year, but there are opportunities for talented sophomores as well. Many faculty members require that students have taken one of their courses before joining their research teams. So you should start early to think about the area(s) you might want to do research in. Then take the relevant classes.
How to fit research in:
- Most students choose to get course credit for some of their research time.
- Research is for everyone. It prepares you for a creative career. But since many students may be thinking about research specifically because they know they want to go on to graduate school, we include here a link to our page on preparing for graduate school .
- All students are invited to become involved in our research activity. Students who are pursuing an honors degree (the Natural Sciences College's Dean's Scholars degree, the CS Department's Turing Scholars degree or Special Departmental Honors ) must complete an Honors Thesis that describes the results of a supervised research project. Visit the Honors Thesis Archive to get an idea of the breadth of the work our students do.
The UT Undergraduate Research Journal is a student-edited and published multidisciplinary journal. Its purpose is to highlight the research and independent studies of undergraduate students at UT.
Undergraduate research
The Department of Computer Science is passionate about involving students at every level in its research. We are proud to say that we have many undergraduates who do research with our faculty members.
If you are new to the idea of doing research, but not sure how to get started, Associate Teaching Professor Mark Sheldon has advice to share . Professor Sheldon’s recommendations include the Summer Scholars Program at Tufts and, outside of Tufts, Research Experiences for Undergrads (REUs). Be sure to read his recommendations in full to experience the best start to your research experience. You could also look into the Tufts Laidlaw Scholars or DIAMONDS programs.
For inspiration, read the profiles of Tufts students who have done research as undergraduates.

Research experience for undergraduates program (reu).
The Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program at the College of Engineering was established in 2002 in response to nationwide trends regarding declining enrollment in engineering, undergraduate graduation rates, and enrollment in graduate programs. Currently, the program has a continuous enrollment of approximately 100 students in the College.
Program Description
Under the REU program, undergraduate students work very closely with a faculty mentor in a very well-defined research problem for up to three consecutive semesters. Students are required to work 10 hours per week and receive a small stipend in return.
REU students have been involved in many different types of research endeavors. In the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, students have worked in several areas, including:
- Computer vision, digital image processing, and pattern recognition
- Location-based services, participatory sensing, and human-centric sensing
- Energy-efficient networking
- Wireless sensor networks and mobile ad hoc networks
- Bioinformatics
- Software security
- Data mining
- VLSI and hardware design
These and many other projects have challenged our undergraduate students and kept them motivated to continue working toward their degrees and joining graduate school. University-wide, the newly created Office of Undergraduate Research runs an annual REU Symposium, publishes the Journal of Undergraduate Research and provides grant opportunities for faculty and students involved in undergraduate research.
Please go to Undergrad Research Portal to search for opportunities, or email [email protected] .
