CIFellows Research Poster Session

On May 25, 2022, the CIFellows were given the opportunity to present their research to the community during a poster session at the NITRD 30th Anniversary Symposium. The poster session was a great way to celebrate early career researchers and demonstrate the impact of federal investments in computing research.

Backed by funding from the National Science Foundation, the Computing Research Association (CRA) and the Computing Community Consortium (CCC) announced a Computing Innovation Fellows (CIFellows) Program for 2020 and 2021. This program recognized the significant disruption to the academic job search caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and associated economic uncertainty and aimed to provide a career-enhancing bridge experience for new PhD graduates in computing. The CIFellows were invited to record five minute presentations about their poster which are posted on this webpage and listed below.
