University of Maryland alumna and her laboratory team take on the challenges of COVID-19.

The President's Postdoctoral Fellowship Program is interested in scholars with the potential to bring to their research and teaching the critical perspective that comes from their educational background or understanding of the experiences of groups historically underrepresented in higher education.

Graduate student John Ficklin, Senior Lecturer Sara Lombardi and Professor Gerald Wilkinson will serve on the Council.

In "Dynamic estimation of auditory temporal response functions via state-space models with Gaussian mixture process noise," published August 19, 2020 in PLOS Computational Biology, researchers including Professor Jonathan Simon develop efficient algorithms for inferring the parameters of a general class of Gaussian mixture process noise models from noisy and limited observations, and utilize them in extracting the neural dynamics that underlie auditory processing from magnetoencephalography (MEG) data in a cocktail party setting.

Twelve tenured/tenure-track faculty members, seven instructional faculty members and 16 research faculty members were promoted.

We congratulate Quentin Gaudry, who was promoted to associate professor with tenure; Beth Parent, who was promoted to principal lecturer; and Bill Fagan, who was named Distinguished University Professor. 

Phung is a rising sophomore biological sciences major with a concentration in general biology and a member of the Integrated Life Sciences program in the Honors College.

Faculty members will use the funding to develop new strategies for teaching fall courses online.

Over 2,600 students were named to the University of Maryland College of Computer, Mathematical, and Natural Sciences Dean's List for Spring 2020.

Students received Latin, High GPA and/or Departmental Honors.
