Yale Student Theory Day 2025

May 1st

Join us for a fun day of research talks presented by Yale CS and S&DS graduate students, additionally featuring invited speakers from universities in the broader NY / New England area. This one-day workshop hopes to bring together the student community while showcasing some exciting work being done on theoretical aspects of computer science, algorithms for continuous space sampling, computational and statistical tradeoffs, applications in machine learning and computational biology, and more. Breakfast, lunch and light refreshments will be served.
