Overview

During the Virtual Undergraduate Town Hall Event, you will join students from around the world in a virtual mentoring event where you will learn about cutting edge research in the field of computing. You will have the opportunity to ask distinguished computer scientists any questions you might have.

Discussion: How and Why to Get Involved in Undergraduate Research

Katherine Sittig-Boyd is a three-time Collaborative Research Experience for Undergraduates (CREU) program participant and one-time Distributed Research Experience for Undergraduates (DREU) program participant. During her undergraduate career at Simmons College, Katherine’s research focused on topics ranging from computational linguistics to human gesture analysis. As a rising senior, Katherine participated in the DREU program at the University of Southern California, where she researched turn length in human conversations and applied it to a social robotics solution. Katherine’s presentation will focus on effective ways to become involved in undergraduate research, how to identify research topics that will make for engrossing and fulfilling projects, and some examples of projects she was able to work on during her undergraduate career. Additionally she will address how her research experiences have impacted her own career in industry in a positive way.

Post-Discussion Chat:

Join Katherine Sittig-Boyd & Gail Murphy for a chat to continue the discussion about undergraduate research, meet fellow students, and share your experiences.
