On Thursday, February 15, 2024, the AY 2023 Spring Doctoral Dissertation Presentations were held.

Twelve students gave presentations on the achievements of their doctoral research at the Graduate School of Computer Science and Engineering. After the introduction of the students, each student gave a presentation as the culmination of his/her research. Faculty and administrative personnel, and current UoA students in attendance listened to the presentations with great interest.

Following the presentations, there was a lively exchange of questions and answers. At the end, their research advisors honored the students' research achievements, and gave them words of encouragement expecting their success in the future as researchers.

The names of the students and the titles of their dissertations are listed below.
