Pedro Paredes, Corwin Hall, Room 041

My primary research work is in Theoretical Computer Science.

 * Research Interest: Spectral Graph theory, Pseudorandomness, Complexity theory, Coding Theory, Quantum Information Theory, Combinatorics.

The IW projects I am interested in advising can be divided into three categories:

 1. Theoretical research

I am open to advise work on research projects in any topic in one of my research areas of interest. A project could also be based on writing a survey given results from a few papers. Students should have a solid background in math (e.g., elementary combinatorics, graph theory, discrete probability, basic algebra/calculus) and theoretical computer science (226 and 240 material, like big-O/Omega/Theta, basic complexity theory, basic fundamental algorithms). Mathematical maturity is a must.

A (non exhaustive) list of topics of projects I'm interested in:   * Explicit constructions of better vertex expanders and/or unique neighbor expanders.   * Construction deterministic or random high dimensional expanders.   * Pseudorandom generators for different problems.   * Topics around the quantum PCP conjecture.   * Topics around quantum error correcting codes and locally testable codes, including constructions, encoding and decoding algorithms.

 2. Theory informed practical implementations of algorithms   Very often the great advances in theoretical research are either not tested in practice or not even feasible to be implemented in practice. Thus, I am interested in any project that consists in trying to make theoretical ideas applicable in practice. This includes coming up with new algorithms that trade some theoretical guarantees for feasible implementation yet trying to retain the soul of the original idea; implementing new algorithms in a suitable programming language; and empirically testing practical implementations and comparing them with benchmarks / theoretical expectations. A project in this area doesn't have to be in my main areas of research, any theoretical result could be suitable for such a project.

Some examples of areas of interest:   * Streaming algorithms.   * Numeric linear algebra.   * Property testing.   * Parallel / Distributed algorithms.   * Online algorithms.    3. Machine learning with a theoretical foundation

I am interested in projects in machine learning that have some mathematical/theoretical, even if most of the project is applied. This includes topics like mathematical optimization, statistical learning, fairness and privacy.

One particular area I have been recently interested in is in the area of rating systems (e.g., Chess elo) and applications of this to experts problems.

Final Note: I am also willing to advise any project with any mathematical/theoretical component, even if it's not the main one; please reach out via email to chat about project ideas.

Opportunities outside the department.

We encourage students to look in to doing interdisciplinary computer science research and to work with professors in departments other than computer science.  However, every CS independent work project must have a strong computer science element (even if it has other scientific or artistic elements as well.)  To do a project with an adviser outside of computer science you must have permission of the department.  This can be accomplished by having a second co-adviser within the computer science department or by contacting the independent work supervisor about the project and having he or she sign the independent work proposal form.

Here is a list of professors outside the computer science department who are eager to work with computer science undergraduates.

The  Campus as Lab  program supports students using the Princeton campus as a living laboratory to solve sustainability challenges. The Office of Sustainability has created a list of campus as lab research questions, filterable by discipline and topic, on its  website .

An example from Computer Science could include using  TigerEnergy , a platform which provides real-time data on campus energy generation and consumption, to study one of the many energy systems or buildings on campus. Three CS students used TigerEnergy to create a  live energy heatmap of campus .

Other potential projects include:

  • Apply game theory to sustainability challenges
  • Develop a tool to help visualize interactions between complex campus systems, e.g. energy and water use, transportation and storm water runoff, purchasing and waste, etc.
  • How can we learn (in aggregate) about individuals’ waste, energy, transportation, and other behaviors without impinging on privacy?

CompSci & IT Dissertations/Theses

While the ideas we’ve presented above are a decent starting point for finding a CompSci-related research topic, they are fairly generic and non-specific. So, it helps to look at actual dissertations and theses to see how this all comes together.

Below, we’ve included a selection of research projects from various CompSci-related degree programs to help refine your thinking. These are actual dissertations and theses, written as part of Master’s and PhD-level programs, so they can provide some useful insight as to what a research topic looks like in practice.

  • An array-based optimization framework for query processing and data analytics (Chen, 2021)
  • Dynamic Object Partitioning and replication for cooperative cache (Asad, 2021)
  • Embedding constructural documentation in unit tests (Nassif, 2019)
  • PLASA | Programming Language for Synchronous Agents (Kilaru, 2019)
  • Healthcare Data Authentication using Deep Neural Network (Sekar, 2020)
  • Virtual Reality System for Planetary Surface Visualization and Analysis (Quach, 2019)
  • Artificial neural networks to predict share prices on the Johannesburg stock exchange (Pyon, 2021)
  • Predicting household poverty with machine learning methods: the case of Malawi (Chinyama, 2022)
  • Investigating user experience and bias mitigation of the multi-modal retrieval of historical data (Singh, 2021)
  • Detection of HTTPS malware traffic without decryption (Nyathi, 2022)

  • A Novel Cooperative Intrusion Detection System for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (Solomon, 2019)
  • HRSB-Tree for Spatio-Temporal Aggregates over Moving Regions (Paduri, 2019)

Looking at these titles, you can probably pick up that the research topics here are quite specific and narrowly-focused , compared to the generic ones presented earlier. This is an important thing to keep in mind as you develop your own research topic. That is to say, to create a top-notch research topic, you must be precise and target a specific context with specific variables of interest . In other words, you need to identify a clear, well-justified research gap.

On Undergraduate Research in Computer Science: Tips for shaping successful undergraduate research projects

Note: Khuller was the recipient of the 2020 CRA-E Undergraduate Research Faculty Mentoring Award , which recognizes individual faculty members who have provided exceptional mentorship, undergraduate research experiences and, in parallel, guidance on admission and matriculation of these students to research-focused graduate programs in computing. CRA-E is currently accepting nominations for the 2023 award program .

One of the goals I hope to accomplish with this article is to open the eyes of faculty to the ways in which bright and motivated undergraduates can contribute meaningfully to their research projects and groups. This piece intends to  help educate folks who  have limited experience with undergraduate research or are unsure how to come up with research projects. I hope it helps others learn quickly from the knowledge I have gained over the years.

Exposing undergraduates to research may encourage them to pursue PhDs At the CRA Conference at Snowbird this summer, data was presented that showed that the overall number of PhDs granted in Computer Science (CS) in the US has not changed substantially in the last decade even though undergraduate programs have grown significantly. Meanwhile, the percentage of US students getting PhDs in CS showed a pretty substantial decline from 48%  to 31%. While there are many factors at play–notably a strong job market for undergraduates– I do know from prior discussions with undergraduate students (UGs), that many CS departments also do not make a substantial effort in exposing UGs to research opportunities. Moreover, when I started as a faculty member I too struggled in defining good research projects for undergraduates (they were either too easy or too similar to PhD research topics, and so were likely not appropriate for undergraduates). I think getting UGs excited about research is perhaps the first step to getting them excited to think about getting a PhD as a career option.

Is research by undergraduate students an oxymoron? I will admit that initially I too was skeptical about the possibility and success of true undergraduate research. My own research experiences as an undergraduate were pathetic. As a student often I would hear people say “I am going to the library to do research”. So I too went to the library to do research. Research to me meant finding something in the library that was not in a textbook, understanding it, and telling people about the work.  At that point I thought I had done some research! I never gave much thought to how new material got into journals to begin with.

Talking to a colleague recently – he said “maybe what all UGs do in a chemistry lab is wash test tubes….”.  The truth is that I do not really know what UG research in chemistry looks like.  But the point I wanted to make with this article is that high level UG research in CS is entirely doable. Indeed, in theoretical computer science (TCS) we have witnessed brilliant papers in top conferences by undergraduate students, and I would argue that UG research can be done quite effectively in other areas of computing research as well.

So what should UG research in CS look like? I have advised over 30 undergraduate researchers and based on my experiences, I have a few observations. Most successful research projects involving undergraduates require a lead time of about 18 months before graduation. It usually takes a few months for the student to read the relevant papers, and for us to identify a topic that aligns with the student’s interests and background. I usually expect that students would have taken both an undergraduate level class in algorithm design as well as discrete mathematics. If they can take a graduate level class, that would also be incredibly valuable.

Tips for shaping successful undergraduate research projects Below is my process for defining a successful UG research project. UGs typically have 12-18 months for a research project, not 3-4 years like most Ph.D. students.

  • At my first meeting, I ask the students about the different topics they learned about in their Algorithms class and what appealed to them the most.
  • Using their answer from bullet #1, I usually spend some time thinking about the right topic for them to work on. The key here is that any paper that the student has to read should not have a long chain of preceding papers that will take them months to get to. Luckily many graph problems as well as combinatorial optimization and scheduling problems lend themselves to easy descriptions. So in a few minutes you can describe the problem.
  • The research should be on a topic of significant interest and related to things I have worked on, and one in which I have some intuition about the direction of research and conjectures that might be true and provable with elementary methods.
  • I usually treat undergraduates the same way as PhD students, while being aware that they have limited time (a year) as opposed to PhD students who might begin a vaguely defined research project.
  • Have them work jointly with a PhD student, if the research is close enough to the PhD students interests and expertise. It’s also a valuable mentoring experience for the PhD student. Simply having a couple of undergrads work on a project jointly can be motivating for both.
  • One benefit of tackling hard problems at this stage is that there is no downside. If a student does not make progress, in the worst case they read a few papers and learn some new things. This allows us to work on problems with less pressure than second and third year graduate students are under.

Over the last 25 years, I have had the opportunity to work with a very large number of talented undergraduates –from University of Maryland (UMD) and Northwestern  University, but also many via the NSF funded REU site program (REU CAAR) that  Bill Gasarch (UMD) and I co-ran from 2012-2018. Many of the students I advised, have published the work they did and subsequently received fellowships and admission to top Ph.D programs. Recent graduates are Elissa Redmiles (Ph.D. UMD), Frederic Koehler (Ph.D. MIT) and Riley Murray (Ph.D. Caltech).  I specifically wanted to mention An Zhu (Ph.D. Stanford University) who first opened my eyes to the amazing work that is possible by undergraduates.

About the Author Samir Khuller received his M.S and Ph.D from Cornell University in 1989 and 1990, respectively, under the supervision of Vijay Vazirani. He was the first Elizabeth Stevinson Iribe Chair for CS at the University of Maryland.
