Research & Scholarship

Over the next few weeks, the Ritchie School will be catching up with a few young alumni! To kick off the series, we asked young alum and current GRA Gary Doan a few questions about what he’s been up to since graduating from DU. Between managing his own studies, being a GRA, and publishing a paper in TKA Journal, Gary is constantly learning how to improve the quality of life of patients who need total knee arthroplasty (TKA).

The Ritchie School of Engineering & Computer Science honored the 2020-2021 academic year award recipients in a series of joyful and interactive virtual ceremonies. The 2020-2021 Awards Program held on May 27 celebrated student, faculty, and staff award winners. 

Associate Professor, Dan Pittman, PhD, began teaching the Computer Forensics class this Winter Quarter in the Ritchie School of Engineering & Computer Science. Wanting to bring industry knowledge into the classroom using his experience from thirteen years in the software industry, Pittman has been able to restructure the class to include more real-life examples and projects.

Ritchie School PhD candidate Boris Peñaloza recently got accepted to present a research poster at the Annual Meeting of the Vision Sciences Society (VSS) taking place May 21-26. This is a prestigious acceptance into a national science conference, as it is extremely competitive in getting invited to present.

My interest in doing research and subsequently a thesis started almost three years ago, when I was in my senior year, pursuing Bachelor’s in Computer Science in Oman. It was during this time in 2017 that I started studying about Blockchain Technology, IoT and Network Security.
