Multiple Tenure-track/Tenured and Endowed Positions in Computer Science
Dr. Mauricio Gomez, Dr. Anandi Dutta and Dr. Bernard Ku were recognized as ACUE fellows by UTSA for having completed an intensive program to enrich courses and expand on research-based teaching techniques. Through evidence-based teaching practices, the faculty learned methods to help students succeed and increase student retention. The faculty spent 36 weeks focused on training modules for Effective Teaching Practices. The next course begins on October 11th and Dr.
Two retired UTSA faculty members, a married couple, are supporting the university through a unique gift to help future generations of computer scientists. Kay and Steve Robbins, professors emeriti from the UTSA College of Sciences Department of Computer Science, have established the Kay and Steve Robbins Faculty Teaching Fellowship Award in Computer Science.
UTSA is home to exceptional professors and researchers who solve the world’s grand challenges. That commitment to research excellence was recognized by the National Academy of Inventors (NAI), who named four UTSA professors to its prestigious Senior Member designation. They are among 61 academic inventors selected for this honor.

Many patients had to wait for lifesaving surgeries, such organ transplants, due to the heavy burden COVID-19 caused for hospitals. Now, UTSA computer science seniors have built a software program that assists doctors in prioritizing medical procedures and treat people more efficiently.
The program, called ESCal, can organize almost three months of surgeries in a few minutes by simply working within a hospital’s existing system.

Spring 2020 graduating senior of Computer Science Matt Moore helps build our community—with software. As a spring 2020 graduate of UTSA with his bachelor’s degree in computer science, this software engineer will help build H-E-B’s proprietary delivery service.
The road to Moore’s H-E-B career opportunity was built both virtually and onsite. He participated in university STEM fairs and was an active member of the UTSA chapter for the Association for Computer Machinery. In ACM he worked through the ranks to eventually become its president.

Eric Nave, a student in UTSA’s Department of Computer Science, and John Quarles, computer science professor and director of the San Antonio Virtual Environments Lab at UTSA, have launched the first worldwide Accessibility VR Game Jam.
Assistant Professor in Practice Rocky Slavin received the National Science Foundation’s (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Research Initiation Initiative (CRII) grant. Referred to as the “Mini CAREER Award”, the goal of the NSF’s CRII program is to encourage research independence early in a faculty member’s career.
