UMD computer scientist Heng Huang leads the project’s artificial intelligence and machine learning efforts and plans to build an innovative large genomic language model for Alzheimer’s that will drive drug discovery for the disease.
The National Institutes of Health awarded $12.5 million over five years to support an initiative that uses artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to quickly search vast stores of genomic, biomarker, and cognitive data...read more
The past decade has seen explosive growth in the collection and use of metagenomic data—genetic material (DNA or RNA) extracted directly from environmental or clinical samples such as soil, water or the human gut. While...read more
UMD Ph.D. student Geonsun Lee leads “Sensible Agent” project with Google Research to examine proactive AR assistants designed to adapt to real-world context.
When digital assistants first appeared on personal computers, they often waited for users to type a command or click a button. As wearable technologies move closer to everyday use, researchers are asking a different question:...read more
In an era where microbiome research reveals significant insights into human health, ecosystems and disease, researchers face a central challenge: making sense of fragmented sequencing data. They must piece together millions of DNA fragments to...read more
Inspired by a college internship, Russell Schwartz (B.S. ’22, mathematics, B.S. ’22, computer science) is taking his passion for mathematics all the way to the moon.
From the time he was a kid growing up in Ellicott City, Maryland, Russell Schwartz (B.S. ’22, mathematics, B.S. ’22, computer science) was obsessed with all things space, from NASA missions to science fiction. “I...read more
Department of Computer Science alumni Yuvan Sundrani and Jason Steinberg build Autosana, an AI testing platform accepted into Y Combinator’s 2025 batch.
When mobile & web apps release updates, engineers must ensure new features work properly without disrupting existing ones. That process often involves writing and maintaining detailed test scripts, which frequently break as apps evolve. Fixing...read more
Modern cloud services rely on telemetry—the collection, transmission, and analysis of data—to monitor and ensure that systems are healthy, performant and reliable. But gathering and analyzing this data at scale is often expensive and slow,...read more
He discusses his path into computer science, research on cloud infrastructure and mentoring students in systems research.
Alan Zaoxing Liu , an assistant professor of computer science at the University of Maryland, studies how computing systems manage and move data at scale. His work focuses on designing data systems that support large...read more
