Salil Vadhan, from Harvard (currently visiting U Syd) will be giving the Basser seminar at #USydCompSci (School of Computer Science) next Tuesday, on "Differential #privacy: from theory to practice and back." Open to all!

🗓️ Tuesday 12 March, 10-11am
📍CS Building (J12) Boardroom 124

The Sydney Algorithms and Computing Theory group (SACT) is not only getting many new graduate (text)books for its library, but also an uplifting message for our PhD students! #USydCompSci

Congratulations to my colleague and friend, André van Renssen, recognised Best Lecturer by our thousands of students! #USydCompSci

André is an indefatigable and wonderful teacher, researcher, and advisor at #USyd, expert in #computationalgeometry and #algorithms.

Amazing how polished some of the Honours students' presentations are. I did not give presentations that good in undergrad. #USydCompSci

Or grad school, for that matter.

Very impressed by the presentations of our Honours (undergrad) students at #USydCompSci, who are presenting their year of research this week. Attended a few, ranging from computational geometry to #quantum computing hardware, adversarial #ML, and #privacy...

.. and more to come!
