Dr. Cyril Rakovski, associate professor of mathematics, has been named program director for the computational and data sciences graduate program! Rakovski attained his doctorate in biostatistics from Harvard University, where he designed novel extensions of the classical family-based test for associations. He was a postdoctoral research fellow at the Keck School of Medicine at the University
It is Autism Awareness Month! Here in Schmid, we have a number of students working on interdisciplinary projects combining computer science, machine learning, and psychology to better understand Autism Spectrum Disorder (ADS). Two of those researchers are Dr. Raymond Anden and Dr. Chelsea Parlett, both of whom were awarded their doctorate in computational and data

The Doti Award is the highest honor for graduate students at Chapman University. It is given out annually to one doctoral and one master’s student. The Doti
Iris Dorn started as a Ph.D. student in the Computational and Data Sciences (CADS) Program in September 2018 under the supervision of Dr. Armen Gulian. Dr. Guilian is a member of the Insitute for Quantum Studies and is a Senior Research Scientist and Director of Chapman University’s Advanced Physics Laboratory, located in Burtonsville, Maryland. Dr.
If you ran into Mike Nemerouf on campus, you’d likely remember him. He’s tall, a bit older than your standard undergraduate student, and a genuinely warm presence. His positivity and embrace of life are pretty apparent right off the bat, but his story of coming from nine years in the Army into Chapman for math and
Chapman University’s Machine Learning & Assistive Technology (MLAT) Lab was only just founded in January of 2015, but the work coming out of it is already proving to be not just useful, but important. The goal, ultimately, of the MLAT Lab has been to provide a formal organization for researchers at Chapman who are dedicated to
For Computational and Data Science faculty and students, the recent acquisition of the Numaserver is important, but the advantages it provides are only just being tapped into. Installed at the end of May, 2015, the Numaserver is still in the experimental phase of its installation. Faculty members and students have just started using the device,
February 25, 2015. 12PM-1PM, Chapman University, Argyros Forum Student Ballroom. AF 119A. For centuries, the El Niño observing network was confined to the coastal region off Chile, Peru and Ecuador. A half century ago, when the theoretical foundation for the El Niño radically changed, the geographical domain for observing El Niño expanded to include
This article, written by Joe Yogerst, originally appeared on the Los Angeles Times website. One of the nation’s leading authorities on big data retrieval, Erik Linstead is an assistant professor of computer science in the School of Computational Sciences at Chapman University’s Schmid College of Science and Technology. We asked him why big data retrieval is so important right now
