Dr. Sejong Yoon has been awarded a $162,500 grant from the National Science Foundation for his collaborative research project as a part of a $999,150 grant with his collaborators at Rutgers University.

The project, named “Learning Joint Crowd-Space Embeddings for Cross-Modal Crowd Behavior Prediction,” will aim to design a new modeling and analysis framework for studying the human crowd’s motion and behaviors and their relationships to environmental structures. The project will engage TCNJ undergraduate student participants in this vital research and potential K-12 outreach with the Educational Administration and Secondary Education Department faculty’s help in the School of Education.

More details about Dr. Yoon’s research group and his work can be found on his website.

Congratulations to Dr. Yoon!

The Computer Science Department welcomes Dr. Uddipan Das to the Department faculty!

Dr. Das earned his B.Tech degree in Computer Science and Engineering from West Bengal University of Technology, his M.E. degree in Software Engineering from Jadavpur University, and his Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from Wichita State University.

His primary research interest centers around the design and development of data-driven algorithms and systems in smart cities; specifically, data management in smart electric power grid communication networks and smart environments for navigation and wayfinding for people with disabilities. In his Ph.D. dissertation, he proposed several quality-aware data management schemes for smart grid communication networks and also proposed a deep learning-based framework to assist people with visual impairments in outdoor wayfinding. He received Maha “Maggie” Sawan Fellowship at Wichita State University in 2016 for the excellence in academic achievement. He has published peer-reviewed research publications in the top-tier journal and conference venues, and he is a reviewer for the IEEE Systems Journal, IEEE ICDCS, IEEE NAPS, and IEEE IGSC, etc. He is an active member of IEEE, IEEE Computer Society, and IEEE Power & Energy Society.

Dr. Das conducts research in the area of smart cities focusing on the design and development of data-driven algorithms and systems in smart grids and smart living. In particular, his current research interest includes data management in communication networks of smart grids that can improve reliability and enable better management and control of electric meters in residential units, as well as the design and development of auxiliary wayfinding systems for people with visual impairments for smart living.

Dr. Das will teach one section (each) of CSC 199, CSC 215 and CSC 230 in Fall 2020.  Students interested in learning more about Dr. Das’s mentored research projects can email him at dasu@tcnj.edu.

Congratulations to our 84 CS majors who made the Dean’s List for Spring 2020!

The registration period for Fall 2020 courses is April 7 – 17, 2020.  Some seats have been reserved for CS majors in all CSC courses.  Please review the registration newsletter for additional information on options courses offered this semester.

After your registration window opens, if the class you need is closed, put yourself on the wait-list using the Qualtrics form below.

We will not be signing students into courses until Monday, April 20, after the registration window closes.  Please do not email the department for updates before this time.  We will enroll students into any unfilled seats in order, based on their registration times and time they registered on the wait list.

Be sure that your intended course does not conflict with a course in your current schedule, and that you are willing to drop conflicting courses to make the change.  If you have a full course load or time conflict and do not indicate courses to drop on your wait-list submission, your submission will be disregarded.

As always, have a back-up plan in case you are not able to get into your preferred courses.

Please see the Advising Resources webpage for more information about submitting Mentored Research or Internship forms for Summer and Fall 2020.
