Tevfik Bultan, CE/CS Professor and Chair of the Computer Science Department at UCSB shared his reaction to the summit – “It was great to see the innovative projects and high-quality research produced by our students. CS Summit is a wonderful event since it provides you glimpses of the future of the computing industry and computing research.”
Bultan believes the Capstone presentations were one of the best parts of the event, and overall the event went very well. In future summits, he thinks the Department should “investigate more virtual attendance options in the future, such as taking questions from people who are listening to talks online [and] would like to see more attendance from outside of UCSB such as local computing companies, or students from local high schools or from SBCC.”
