Student Theses

Every year the Department of Computer Science Graduate Students complete thesis work in an area of study. These students have worked very hard on their research and the findings and results are very interesting. In an effort to expand the areas of study that our graduate students have pursued during their tenure here at UMD, we are pleased to be able to post some of their thesis work. The list below provides information regarding those theses. Please feel free to explore the work and research of the students listed below.
