Stony Brook University Computer Science

The Department of Computer Science at SUNY Korea successfully hosted the Spring 2026 Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP) on May 27, 2026, in the SUNY Korea Student Lounge. The event brought together approximately 70 students, faculty, and staff to celebrate undergraduate research and provide students with an opportunity to present the projects they have been developing throughout the semester.

The program featured both oral presentations and poster sessions covering a wide range of computer science topics. Undergraduate researchers shared their work with faculty members and fellow students, explaining their research ideas, methodologies, and results. The event encouraged meaningful academic discussions while allowing participants to explore the diverse research activities taking place within the department.

Beyond showcasing research outcomes, the UROP served as a valuable learning experience for student presenters. By communicating their work to a broader audience and receiving feedback from faculty and peers, students strengthened both their technical presentation skills and their understanding of research. The event also allowed attendees to discover ongoing research projects and inspired many students to consider participating in research in the future.

The Spring 2026 UROP received overwhelmingly positive feedback from participants, earning an overall satisfaction rating of 4.59 out of 5.0. Attendees particularly appreciated the variety of student presentations and the opportunity to learn about research being conducted across the department. Building on the success of this semester's event, the Department of Computer Science will continue to support undergraduate research initiatives that foster innovation, collaboration, and academic excellence.
