College of Computing & Artificial Intelligence
CS Marketplace is a program from the UW–Madison Computer Sciences Department that connects campus researchers, departments, and other UW organizations who need custom software with skilled CS undergraduates ready to tackle real coding and AI projects.
A team of researchers from UW–Madison has received the best paper award from the ACM (Association for Computing Machinery) CHI conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, also known as CHI’26, for their paper Trauma-Informed Digital Evidence Collection: A Design Inquiry into Evidence Practices for Technology-Facilitated Abuse in Intimate Partner Violence: Sophie Stephenson Naman Gupta …

The human brain remains the most intelligent and general information processing system on earth — so what if we built AI to match it? That's the question driving two related fields: neuromorphic computing, which designs hardware and software modeled on the brain's structure, and neuroAI, which applies biological principles to build more adaptable and efficient artificial intelligence.
In the Computer Sciences Capstone, students can gain real-world experience — and launch their careers ahead of graduation. By Taylor Wilmot x’26 As a senior triple majoring in computer, data, and information sciences, I’ve sampled my fair share of UW–Madison’s course catalogue. Some of my highlights (I’m looking at you, DANCE 101) might surprise you. But if I had …
Words and photos by Rachel Robey Amy Koike PhDx’27 explores how thoughtful robot design can invite human interaction — maybe even friendship. Most robots are designed to perform practical, if relatively unglamorous, functions: repetitive manufacturing tasks, unsanitary jobs like cleaning and maintaining sewers, or risky mining and exploration activities. These “three D’s” of robotics — …
When students filed into the lecture hall for the first session of a new entrepreneurship course in the Computer Sciences department, the energy felt different from a typical class. This wasn't a syllabus review or a technical deep dive. Instead, it was a fireside chat with one of the most consequential technology founders in healthcare: Judy Faulkner MS’67, founder and CEO of Epic.
Kyle Cranmer, Computer Sciences Affiliate Professor, Professor of Physics, and Director of the Data Science Institute at UW–Madison, has been honored with the inaugural Pritzker Prize in AI for Science for his role in establishing a powerful new approach to data analysis that leverages advances in machine learning and artificial intelligence.
When Alka Lakadia x’27 arrived at UW–Madison from India as a freshman, she knew she wanted to study computer science, but she didn't anticipate discovering her passion for entrepreneurship or that she would become a leader in creating opportunities for other women in tech at UW–Madison.
