Innovatively working to educate the next generation of computer scientists and researchers.

06/17/2026

Stony Brook Computer Science professor Steven Skiena will take audiences inside the real science of Ex Machina at Sag Harbor Cinema on Thursday, June 25.

Before a special screening of Alex Garland’s provocative sci-fi thriller, Skiena will present “Synthetic Dreams and Ghost Machines,” exploring the rapidly evolving fields of artificial intelligence and robotics—and how close reality may be to the technology imagined in the film.

The Science on Screen® program begins at 6 p.m.

Congratulations to the Class of 2026! 🎓

You dared to think boldly, solve creatively, and push the boundaries of what technology can do. As you take your next steps — into industry, research, graduate study, and beyond — we can’t wait to see how you will challenge ideas, build what’s next and shape the future.

Once a Seawolf, always a Seawolf. ❤️

Does coffee really boost productivity? Does a cold winter disprove climate change?

Humans are wired to look for patterns — but sometimes, we connect dots that do not actually belong together. Stony Brook Computer Science Professor Klaus Mueller and PhD student Shahreen Salim Aunti developed Belief Miner, a tool that helps researchers study how large groups form causal beliefs and where those beliefs diverge from expert knowledge.

Their work could have applications in climate communication, healthcare, education, public policy, and misinformation research.

Dare to follow your curiosity.

At Stony Brook, Jachao Lee turned undergraduate research into a path at the intersection of AI and healthcare technology.

Working with Professor Chao Chen, he developed a deep learning pipeline to help analyze brain tissue images for Alzheimer’s disease research — work that was published at the SPIE Medical Imaging conference.

This spring, Lee graduates from the Department of Computer Science’s accelerated BS/MS program and begins his career at Epic Systems.

What happens when you take away the most common letter in the English language?

At Stony Brook University , researchers trained an AI model to rewrite The Great Gatsby without using the letter “e”—a letter that makes up about 12% of typical English text.

The result is more than a literary experiment. It’s a powerful test of how well AI can adapt, restructure language, and preserve meaning—even under strict constraints.

What is a PhD really like?

At a recent panel, Stony Brook computer science PhD students shared their experiences with undergraduate students—offering an honest look at research, graduate school, and the decisions that shape their paths.

For many attendees, it was a chance to ask questions, hear real stories, and better understand what comes next after a bachelor’s degree.
