Congratulations to five undergraduate students from the Computer Science Department: Anna Gann, Mina Jeong, Michael Hearn, Andrew Palmer, and Hend Rasheed who won first place in "Data Visualization" at the (ASA) DataFest at Emory competition. The team was accompanied by CS faculty member, Dr. Delaram Yazdansepas. ASA DataFest is an annual competition in which student teams work to reveal insights from a large and rich data set provided by a real client.

During the 48-hour event that began on Friday, April 5th and concluded Sunday, April 7th, 38 teams from Emory, GSU, and UGA competed head-to-head in categories ranging for Best Insight, Best Visualization, and Best Use of External Data. Each team presented its findings to a panel of judges comprised of professors and data scientists from the industry.
