Welcome to the September 2025 edition of Badger Bytes!
It is my honor to take on the responsibility of Chair of the Computer Sciences Department this year. My sincere thanks to Steve Wright, who made significant contributions to the department as chair over the past two years. As we begin this semester, I feel a great deal of excitement. We have moved into a stunning new building - Morgridge Hall - the new jewel of the campus - which will facilitate groundbreaking discoveries and serve the needs of students from across campus. We welcome six fantastic new assistant professors who broaden and enrich the department. We also have a tremendously accomplished and knowledgeable leadership group, who I am eager to work with over the coming weeks and months. While we face certain headwinds in terms of funding uncertainty, I am reminded of the quote from Albert Einstein: "In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity." Our CS team will be working hard to identify and take advantage of those opportunities. I look forward to reporting our progress in future editions of Badger Bytes.
