Chair's Message
Dear Friends,
Fall has arrived in Chapel Hill, and with it, a new crop of graduate and undergraduate students. This summer was a busy one. In August, we launched a new department web site, just in time for the new school year. If you haven’t visited the new www.cs.unc.edu, be sure to check it out!
Also in August, we welcomed Assistant Professor Vladimir Jojic to the department. Vladimir is an addition to our bioinformatics and computational biology research group and an associate member of the Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center.
Unfortunately, this summer we said farewell to our long-time colleague and alumus Greg Welch, who joined the faculty of the University of Central Florida. He maintains a part-time appointment here, however, and will continue to collaborate with faculty and students.
Congratulations to Research Professor and alumna Diane Pozefsky, who was recently named to the Women in Technology International Hall of Fame. You can read more about Diane here.
Congratulations also to Professor Steve Pizer, on being recognized as a Fellow of the Medical Image Computing and Computer-Assisted Intervention (MICCAI) Society at this year’s meeting. MICCAI is the premier society in the field of medical image computing. You can read more about Steve’s honor in the Fall 2010 News & Notes.
This year’s alumni fellowship recipient is Stephen Olivier. You can read more about his research here, and, as promised in our last issue, you can also learn more about ways you can support the department.
We’d love to have you visit! Please be sure to stop by the department whenever you are in the area.
