Job with Amazon beckons Christian Rentsman ’18

With his focus on computer science, math and comparative literature, Clarkie brings well-rounded background, critical-thinking skills to world of coding
NYC workshop for tech women connects Clark students with IT leaders

The United States will continue to see an increase in computing jobs over the next decade, but more than two-thirds of those jobs will go unfilled because there aren’t enough qualified applicants. At the same time, more men than women continue to pursue information technology careers, despite the fact that more women are going to…
Summer of science nets students research, career opportunities

More than 40 undergraduate students participated in Clark’s Summer Science Research Program, which featured weekly lectures and mentorship by faculty. “One of the many positive aspects of this program was the bringing together of students, and faculty, from very different fields,” says Denis Larochelle, associate professor of biology and director of the Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Program, who leads the…
Alumnus’ career takes flight at NASA

JP Burke ’08 puts his mathematics and computer science degrees to work
Clark professor, students find the humanity in computer research

Clark University computer scientist John Magee applies his expertise in human-computer interaction to help others – people with disabilities and, more recently, middle-school students. And by inviting Clark LEEP Fellows and other undergraduates to join his research projects, he’s giving students the opportunity to do the same. “There are a lot of opportunities in this research to improve people’s…
Brendan Burgess ’18 blends the science of politics and computers

You could call Brendan Burgess ’18 a quintessential Clarkie. His double major in political science, with a concentration in international relations, and computer science sets him apart, but some first-year advice pushed him to take it a step further. “I heard if you want to be involved in political science, you should have something that distinguishes you,” Burgess…
Students bring ‘fresh insights’ to research on gene expression and more

Clark University juniors Navid Al Hossain ’18 and Michael Gaiewski ’18 spent the summer delving into the mathematical modeling of gene expression, the process through which genetic information in DNA drives the synthesis of protein products. They worked in the laboratory of Jacqueline Dresch, an assistant professor in the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science. “It’s been an amazing…
Clark’s computer science teams make top 5 in regional programming contest

When faced with the pressure of producing computer code that works, and under the most stringent deadlines, Clark University’s computer science students prove they can step up. In the 2016 regional programming contest for the Consortium for Computing Sciences in Colleges Northeast (CCSCNE), Clark’s two teams placed second and fourth among 38 competitors that included Middlebury and Wellesley…
