Reed CS grads starting their postgraduate studies
Congratulations to computer science students Marika Swanberg '19 and Palak Jain '18 who will each be starting their graduate work this fall semester at Boston University with BU Professor Adam Smith's research group. Congratulations also to Ananthan Nambiar '19 who will begin his graduate work at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

Students to present new differential privacy results
Congratulations are in order for Professor Adam Groce and computer science student Kaiyan Shi '20 who, along with statistics students Simon Couch '21 and Zeki Kazan '20 and Professor of Statistics Andrew Bray, will be presenting their paper "Differentially Private Nonparametric Hypothesis Testing" at the 26th ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security (CCS 2019) held during November 11th-15th in London of this year.
One of the algorithms presented in this CCS publication was awarded a national prize for undergraduate statistics research, as featured in the Reed Magazine article "The Privacy Puzzle."
This follows another publication this year from the Groce and Bray research group, the paper "Improved Differentially Private Analysis of Variance" presented at the 19th Privacy Enhancing Technologies Symposium (PETS 2019) in July of 2019 authored by recent CS alums Marika Swanberg '19 and Ira Globus-Harris '19.
You can read these and other Reed CS publications using the links at our Publications page. Reed Magazine also featured Groce's and Bray's work, done in collaboration with computational biologist Anny Ritz of the Biology Department, in the article "Reed Data Scientists Want To Safeguard Your Privacy" which talks about their $345K NSF SaTC grant.

Introducing...
The new computer science department!
This is the inaugural year for our Department of Computer Science. While we still maintain close ties with mathematics and statistics, where computer science was housed as a program for years, we've just now organized our faculty and our majors as a separate wing of the (newly-titled) Mathematical and Natural Sciences Division.
With our birth you should expect to see some nice changes, including a new computer science colloquium series held most weeks of the semester from 4:40-5:30 on Tuesdays, and normally in Eliot 314. Check the schedule for the next upcoming talk and to verify the day/time and location. Anyone from the community is welcome to attend.
Also, our first meeting with senior computer science majors will be held Tuesday, September 3rd at 4:40pm in Physics 123. And our first organizational meeting with all computer science students about the coming year and about our program will be held Tuesday, September 10th at 4:40pm in Physics 123.
Current students interested in the computer science program should consider joining the cs-students email group if they haven't already.
