Goals of this Team
ALGORITHMS are an essential component of modern computing and have become increasingly important as the amount of data generated by businesses, governments, and individuals has grown exponentially. This VIP team centers on the study of algorithms, consisting of two threads:
- Programming Contest Thread. Participating in programming contests can have several benefits: improving problem solving skills, enhancing programing skills, providing network opportunities, and enhancing career prospects. This thread serves as a channel for students who are interested in participating programming contest. With the support from the Computer and Information Science Department at UD, team members in this thread will collectively learn programming fundamentals, design contest strategies, participate in mock programming contests, and finally, patriciate in programming contests in the US.
- Research Thread. Algorithm research involves the study of algorithms, their properties, and their applications. The team in this thread will explore research topics in combinatorial optimization and social network analysis, in collaboration with the Computational Data Science Lab at UD (https://udel.edu/~amotong/).
