CDS STUDENT
SEMINAR
SERIES
Join us every Friday at Boston University Faculty of Computing and Data Sciences (CDS) for cutting-edge research presentations by CDS PhD students across data science, AI, and beyond.
What We Do
We are a student-run initiative within the PhD department of Boston University Faculty of Computing & Data Sciences, dedicated to fostering knowledge sharing and academic growth across our community.
Our Mission?
Create a space where students can explore, present, and discuss the research topics they're passionate about in a supportive, collaborative environment.
Every Friday from 12:00 to 1:00 PM in CDS 1646, CDS researchers present on work that excites them—whether it's their current research, an inspiring paper they've discovered, or a hands-on workshop in their area of expertise. From artificial intelligence to biological sciences, our seminars cover the full breadth of computer and data science.
