Prof. Matuszek on Talking to Robots, GRIT-X 2-4pm, Sat 10/14 The Role of Language in Human-Robot Interaction
CSEE professor Dr. Cynthia Matuszek will be one of this year's GRIT-X event speakers during the 2023 UMBC Homecoming celebration. Each of the nine speakers will give a 10-12 minute talk on their research and creative achievement. 

Dr. Matuszek's topic is "Talking to Robots - The Role of Language in Human-Robot Interaction." As robots become more common and begin to make their way into human environments, it becomes more important for them to interact comfortably with end users. One way to accomplish that is to build robotic systems that can use natural languages (human languages, such as English) to interact with and learn from people around them. In her talk, she will describe the concept of grounded language -- language that robots can use to understand the physical world around them -- and talk about the promise, as well as some of the risks, of language-using robots.

The 2023 UMBC GRIT-X event takes place on Saturday, October 14, from 2-4 pm in the Fine Arts Recital Hall. After the talks, you can join the speakers for a post-event reception in the lobby.

UMBC CSEE professor Ramana Vinjamuri leads a research group that won a shark tank style pitch contest sponsored by the Maryland New Venture Fellowship Program for their work on developing wearable devices that can detect and help manage stress. Graduate student Pranay Manikanta Narava delivered the 5-minute winning pitch, mentored by Ellington West, CEO and Co-Founder of Sonavi Labs, Inc., and Professor Vinjamuri.

The eight teams who participated squared off on May 8 at UMBC's South Campus to share their ideas for commercially viable, technology solutions to some of the nation's problems to secure information systems, utilities, infrastructure and supply chains. Each team included one technologist, one graduate student/fellow, and one mentor.

Professor Vinjamuri's lab is working on Pneuma, a neurotechnology to help individuals with Substance Use Disorder, in collaboration with Nilanjan Banerjee, Abhijit Dutt, Charissa Cheah, and David Gorelick. They are developing a wearable device that can detect and manage stress, a key trigger to substance abuse. In 2021, this research received a UMBC START Award that helped fund the research.

What to Submit  

Faculty Talks. We seek UMBC CSEE faculty to present their best research accomplishments from 2022-2023. There will be five faculty talks, each 20 minutes long. The talks should describe recent concrete research accomplishments (not ongoing research) that are 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 Ph.D. Research. Winners will present their research in 20-minute talks. Submit name, lab, title, informative abstract (in ASCII), one technical report (a pdf file), one description of research novelty/impact, 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, 2022 - March 31,  2023. Prizes are awarded to the research rather than individuals. Award criteria include:

  1. Scientific merit (significance, originality, non-triviality, correctness, completeness) of a single submitted paper
  2. Effective technical writing (clarity, proper English usage, organization), with some preference in close cases given to  students awarded degrees in 2022-2023

Student Research Posters and Prizes. We seek UMBC CSEE undergraduate and graduate students to present their best research accomplishments from 2022-2023 in posters.

UMBC graduate students in CMSC-641 Algorithms actively engage in learning quantum algorithms in the two-week unit.

A set of six videos now available on YouTube are the cornerstone of a two-week unit that introduces quantum algorithms in UMBC's core graduate course CMSC-641 Design and Analysis of Algorithms. The project was developed by Professor Alan T. Sherman and his colleagues, including Professors Sam Lomonaco (computer science) and Linda Oliva (education), with support from the Hrabowski innovation Fund and College of Engineering and Information Technology. Additional members of the team include graduate students Marc Laczin and Siddharth Chandrasekaran, and Dr. Omar Shehab (IBM), a former Ph.D. student of Dr. Lomonaco.

Using the flipped classroom, students watch the videos before coming to class prepared to engage actively programming the QUIRK quantum circuit simulator and the IBM Q quantum computer using the Qiskit software development kit. The unit was piloted at UMBC in spring 2020, spring 2021, and fall 2021.  While there are full courses in quantum computation, this effort developed a two-week unit targeted at computer science graduate students covering three quantum algorithms: Deutsch-Jozsa, Simon, and Shor.

Quantum algorithms running on quantum computers offer the potential to solve complex problems with dramatically reduced execution time and energy consumption. For example, Shor's quantum algorithm for factoring integers runs in polynomial time, faster than any known algorithm for classical computers and offers future potential to break the widely-used RSA cryptosystem. Whereas classical computers use discrete 1s and 0s to perform calculations, quantum computers use Q-bits, which involve complex numbers and can simultaneously be 0 or 1. Based on quantum physics, quantum computers operate in a strange universe that includes the curious and potentially useful effects of superposition and entanglement. In pursuit of transformative potential advantages, government and private industry are investing significantly in quantum computer technologies. All computer science students need to know about these vital emerging technologies.

UMBC CSEE faculty member and Associate VP for Research Development Don Engel and his family saw his father, Peter "Pete" Engel, graduate from UMBC in December with a bachelor's degree in history. 

Peter Engel graduated from the University of Maryland, College Park in 1972 and went on to get a law degree there. When he retired two years ago, he enrolled in UMBC's Golden ID program, which allows seniors to take courses tuition free.

His current plans include pursuing a Master's degree in history at UMBC. You can read more about this in the Baltimore Sun.

We congratulate the 363 students who graduated from one of the CSEE programs last week and look forward to the wonderful things they will accomplish as they embark on their careers. 

The Fall 2022 graduates included:
  • 155 undergraduate students receiving BS degrees in computer engineering or computer science
  • 77 graduate students awarded an MS degree in computer engineering, computer science, or electrical engineering;
  • 116 graduate students receiving an MPS (Masters of Professional Studies) degree in cybersecurity or data science
  • 15 graduate students obtaining a Ph.D. in computer engineering, computer science, or electrical engineering.

A total of 397 students have received Ph.D. degrees from the department since Dr. Sanjeev Ahuja completed his dissertation in 1986 on applying abductive reasoning to analyzing and classifying errors in discrete sequential processes. We are very proud of our Ph.D. graduates, who contributed to advancing knowledge in their fields as doctoral students and continue to contribute in their current positions in academia, industry, or government organizations. See our complete list of Ph.D. graduates with information on their dissertations, mentors, and positions.
