As a computer science major, Emily Buff ’19 is keenly aware of the intense sexism many women working in the technology industry face. This summer, she is doing her part to combat this inequality by working as a teacher’s assistant for Girls Who Code, a national nonprofit organization dedicated to closing the gender gap in technology.

At Hamilton Minh To ’19 has devoured opportunities to further her passion for computer science. Now she is immersed in an intensive, full-stack web and mobile application development program at Horizons School of Technology.

Emmerson Zhaime ’17, who majored in computer science and mathematics, started his postgraduate career as a technology analyst for Morgan Stanley’s wealth management division.

Six Hamilton faculty members were recognized for their research and creative successes with the Dean’s Scholarly Achievement Awards, presented by Dean of Faculty Margaret Gentry on Class & Charter Day on May 8.

Alexander Dennis ’18, a computer science and math major, has been named a Barry M. Goldwater Scholar. It's the premier national undergraduate award in the fields of mathematics, natural sciences and engineering.

Hamilton welcomed computer scientist and author David Bailey on Nov. 3 for a lecture regarding the failures of the scientific community toward communicating the importance and wonder of scientific research to the general public. Bailey is a University of California Davis research associate and former computer scientist at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. His talk was funded through the James S. Plant Distinguished Scientist Lecture Fund and was sponsored by the Mathematics Department.

Mike Sennott ’09, co-founder of Universal Happymaker, just launched its first game, Astronaut: The Best, a narrative comedy game for PC, Mac and Linux on the crowdfunding platform Kickstarter. The team is looking to raise $12,000 over the next week to fund the remaining development of the game; the fundraiser campaign ends Oct. 21.

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.

Lyndsay LaBarge ’17 and Maya Montgomery ’18 spent this summer working on the design and implementation of CSPy, a variation of the programming language Python. The research is under the supervision of Associate Professor of Computer Science Alistair Campbell.

Steve Cunden ’18 has an unusual lab partner this summer. Baxter is pretty quiet and lacking personality, but he is very intelligent. Cunden is an intern at TechBridgeWorld lab at the Robotics Institute of Carnegie Mellon University, and Baxter, his partner, is a robot.  TechBridgeWorld, founded by Mary Bernardine Dias ’98, is a lab dedicated to bringing robotics to underdeveloped/developing countries and disadvantaged communities.
