Student Publications and Theses
Computer science students are involved in active research, both through senior thesis and through other undergraduate research opportunities. In both cases students often publish this work in prestigious academic venues. Below is a list of recent thesis and published work.
Past theses are available in the Reed library stacks, and some are available online. Seniors: visit the Resources page for typesetting help, including the thesis template.
