Mix a passion for technology and design with an interest in crypto, NFTs, blockchain, and the metaverse, and you have the ingredients for a personalized concentration that combines art and computer science and a Hamiltonian ready to help others understand it all.

What happens if Generative Adversarial Networks are linked and given the opportunity to work together, like trees in a forest? Ian Nduhiu ’22 and Kenny Talarico ’22 are pondering that.

Jiin Jeong ’21 and Ines Ayara '20 attended the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing Conference in Houston, Texas, last month.

Summer is here, and that can only mean one thing: camp. But this summer camp has nothing to do with lanyards or kayaking—it’s about code. This summer, Conor Courtney ’20 is attending Horizons School of Technology in San Francisco, Calif.

Stephana (Hayoung) Lim '21 never expected to be doing anything related to art in college. When she first came to Hamilton, she intended to major in physics, but soon switched over to computer science after taking a class with Visiting Assistant Professor of Computer Science David Perkins.

It was her first computer science course, taken during her first year at Hamilton, and Maya Montgomery ’18 expected it would be the only computer science course she’d ever enroll in.

Ten women participating in summer research in the Hamilton College Chemistry, Computer Science and Physics departments have been recognized as Clare Boothe Luce Undergraduate Research Scholars. Funded through a grant from the Henry Luce Foundation and matching funds from Hamilton College, these awards provide stipends and funding for equipment, supplies, and travel to encourage women to either begin or continue research projects in the three disciplines.

As many who have tried computer coding know, the introductory languages used in the field can often be difficult to approach and unintuitive. It is with this in mind that Eric Collins ’17 and Alex Dennis ’18 with Associate Professor of Computer Science Alistair Campbell, are this summer creating a new programming language called CSPy geared specifically toward beginners.

Mykhailo Antoniv ’17 is making the most of his computer science major this summer in an internship with Grand Central Tech, a startup accelerator headquartered in New York City. Through his work with GCT, Antoniv is also acting as an intern at Backtrace, an error debugging platform for native applications. His endeavors this summer are supported by the Class of 2006 Fund, managed through Hamilton’s Career and Life Outcomes Center.

Computer science majors Jason Fortunato ’17 and Linnea Sahlberg ’17 are attempting to improve upon expensive biometric technologies this summer through a research project titled Remote Functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy. Working under Stephen Harper Kirner Chair of Computer Science Stuart Hirshfield, their research is focused on the creation of relatively unintrusive alternatives to Near Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) equipment, utilizing lasers to operate remotely instead of the common skin-contact reliant systems of traditional equipment.
