Announcing the 2022 CISE Best Student Paper Awards
CISE is delighted to announce the winners of the 2022 CISE Best Student Paper Award. This year five papers were chosen as award recipients. The winning papers were selected via a blind review process, and were evaluated based on the significance and impact of the work, creativity and innovation, completeness and quality, articulacy, and relevance to information and systems engineering. The winning papers will be presented Friday, April 29, 3PM, at the BU Photonics Building, Room 210, followed by the CISE end-of-year party. We would like to extend our deep appreciation and thanks to the 16 CISE faculty affiliates who reviewed and provided valuable feedback to guide the award selection.
