Projects & Research

Charlie Peck's Research

Charlie's student/faculty research covers developing approaches and materials to support injecting parallelism into a broad range of the undergraduate computer science curriculum; software and hardware "educational appliances" such as the Bootable Cluster CD (BCCD, http://bccd.net ) and LittleFe ( http://littlefe.net) projects which support parallelism education; and software engineering tools and techniques for scaling scientific kernels to the next generation of petascale computational resources.

Jim Roger's Research

My research focuses on the logical foundations of grammar formalisms. Currently I am most actively involved in two areas:

• model-theoretic approaches to theories of syntax and
• descriptive characterizations of language-theoretic complexity classes.

Applied CS

The Computer Science Department organizes a number of applied CS groups. The primary aim of their projects is to give students an opportunity to apply and extend knowledge gained in the classroom to "real world" software and hardware projects.
