The Computing Research Association (CRA) recognized 19 undergraduates from the Cornell Ann S. Bowers College of Computing and Information Science as part of the organization’s 2024-2025 Outstanding Undergraduate Researcher Award. 

Cornell Bowers CIS students received either runner-up, finalist, or honorable mention honors for the CRA award, which recognizes undergraduate students at North American colleges and universities who demonstrate exceptional potential in computing research.

Runner-up

Juntao Ren ’24, computer science and mathematics major

Finalist

Jiayue (Gaveal) Fan ’25, information science and sociology

Honorable Mention

Computer Science 

  • Reevu Adakroy, ‘25

  • Daniel Cao, ‘25

  • Josh De Leeuw, ‘25

  • Adam Jovine, ‘25

  • James Kim ‘25

  • Jason Klein ‘26

  • Kian Mahmoodi, ‘26

  • Luis Hernandez Rocha, ‘26

  • Benny Rubin ‘24

  • Deniz Boloni-Turgut ‘26

Information Science

  • Amber Arquilevich, ‘25

  • Muhammad Jee ‘25

  • Maaya Kanvar ‘25

  • Luis Miguel Sy Malenab ‘25

  • Manru (Mary) Zhang ‘24

Statistics and Data Science

  • Jaclyn Liquori, ’24 (biometry and statistics)

  • Anisha Tehim ’26 (biometry and statistics)

The selection of these budding researchers from Cornell Bowers highlights the college's dedication to providing opportunities for hands-on experiences and underlines the impact of programs like the Bowers Undergraduate Research Experience, or BURE, which gives undergraduates a taste of research life. Of the above recognized students, the four computer science majors who received honorable mentions – Kim, Klein, Rubin, and Boloni-Turgut – previously participated in BURE, which began in 2023. The 10-week summer program pairs each participating undergraduate with one of nearly 40 faculty mentors and their doctoral students to tackle a specific research project.  

Among other recent honors by BURE participants:

  • Andrew Kang ‘27 – a computer science and mathematics major – presented virtually at the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) International Conference on Big Data in December.

  • A paper from Joyce Yang ‘27 – a computer science major – was accepted at the Human Robot Interaction conference, to be held March 4-6.

  • Nam Anh Dang ‘27, an information science major, and Peter He ‘27, an electrical and computer engineering major, both had papers accepted at the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) CHI conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, to be held April 26-May 1.​
