Science faculty exhibiting research at campus expo

An exposition featuring the research activities of SUNY Fredonia’s science faculty is planned for Tuesday, March 7, and will include a mini-symposium on advances in computer science. The exposition is open to the public from 1 to 5 p.m. in the Williams Center Multipurpose Room. All are welcome.

A total of 18 stations will feature posters and displays that describe the research done by selected faculty in the natural and social sciences. The faculty members will be on hand for questions from visitors between 2:30 and 3:30 p.m.

The one-hour symposium starts at 1:30 upstairs in Room G-142. Three members of the computer science faculty will take a look at advances in computer graphics, signal classification, and wireless technology: Dr. Reneta Barneva, Dr. Khalid Siddiqui, and Dr. Junaid Zubairi.
