Professor M. Tamer Özsu, a founding member of the Data Systems Group at the David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science, has been named a University Professor by the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ, a distinction conferred to academics of exceptional scholarly achievement and international pre-eminence.

A team of four À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ students took first prize in the first Citadel and Citadel Securities Data Open datathon competition of 2018. The event drew 80 competitors from À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ, University of Toronto and University of Montreal. The winning team, which included À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµÂ computer science student Richard Wu, will compete in the championship against approximately 20 other teams later this year.
