The CISE Graduate Student Workshop

The CISE Graduate Student Workshop (CGSW) is an annual forum that provides students the opportunity to share their original research and hone their communication skills in an engaging, collaborative environment. Organized by students, for students, the day-long event encourages interdisciplinary sharing among affiliated students, faculty, and invited guest speakers across diverse application areas.  The event concludes with an awards reception where students are recognized for best presentations. CGSW was conceived by CISE student affiliates Yasaman Khazaeni, Greg Castanon, and Jing Wang and its inaugural event was held in 2014.
