Three Questions with the UW WiNGS Lab Leader Suman Banerjee
“We do very practical things that can have a real impact,” Banerjee says. “We are always looking for interesting collaborations with people who feel that they have an interesting problem.”

“Low vision is a complex and widespread condition that affects millions of people, yet it remains underrepresented in technology research,” Dr. Zhao said. “To create truly effective tools, we need a deeper understanding of users’ lived experiences and the flexibility to design technologies that adapt to their environments and preferences.”
After more than two decades in the classroom, Teaching Professor Debra Deppeler is retiring from the Department of Computer Sciences, leaving behind a legacy measured not just in years but in students. Deb earned an MS at UW-Madison in Computer Sciences in 2000 and joined the department in 2001. In her 25 years with the department, Deb has taught a staggering 15,000 undergraduates.
$100 million in philanthropic support and a significant campus investment, including 50 new faculty positions, will support research, education and innovation
When students join a WISCURDS project, they often arrive with ideas about what they hope to gain from the experience: a stronger resume, a letter of recommendation, maybe a publication. Less often do they fully anticipate how the work will reshape the way they think about their field, their collaboration, and themselves.
Observing gaps in Large Language Models’ (LLMs’) abilities to process tabular data motivated UW-Madison Computer Sciences PhD candidate Sonia Cromp to develop Tabby, an architecture modification to LLMs that improves how they handle structured data. Cromp began working on Tabby two and a half years ago, after realizing there were weaknesses in generative modeling, particularly for tabular data, within LLMs.
Congratulations, graduates! The Computer Sciences Department will be holding in-person graduation ceremonies . . .
Over the course of more than 50 years, Ellis Horowitz MS'67, PhD'69 has helped define what it means to teach and study computer science. A professor emeritus of computer science and electrical engineering at the University of Southern California, Horowitz is perhaps best known for the textbooks that have shaped the field for generations — works that began as a response to a rapidly growing discipline and became foundational references for students and educators around the world.
By Rachel Robey Honoring alumnus Eric Harslem, former senior vice president and chief technology officer at Apple and Dell, for contributions in research, leadership, and education. “If you don’t make mistakes, you don’t make anything.” These are words to live by for alumnus Eric Harslem MS’68, a former senior vice president and chief technology officer …
