Our students did great on URECA Day 2026! They received partial or full fellowship from URECA Ctr which is designed to provide students with opportunity to participate in intensive research under mentorship of WFU faculty members.
Congrats to all the students who took part!
Join us Monday, October 19 at 4:00 PM in Alumni Hall 286! Dr. Ron Doyle will share his insight on topic entitled The One-Person Startup: Building a Real MVP with an AI Coding Agent.
All are welcome!
We’re leading, but this isn't locked in until the last hour —and every single lap brings us closer to making a real impact!
In these final 60 minutes, our students, faculty and staff will keep the relay going to raise money for the Brian Piccolo Cancer Research Fund.
It's this time of the year!
Fundraising hour for Hit the Bricks is 2pm-3pm. The team that raises the most during this period will gain twenty-five extra laps! Come support Compile & Run, and the Brian Piccolo Cancer Research Fund at Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist before 5pm!
It's that time of year again! Get pumped for Hit the Bricks and join us as we run (and walk!) our socks off to support cancer research at one of Wake Forest's most beloved traditions. Our very own CS Dept has a team - Compile and Run, and we want YOU to join us!
If you are interested in joining our team, pls register at the link provided above no later than Tuesday, Sept. 29. Feel free to reach out to Sarah Parsons. Get pumped for the race of your lives!

A big shout out to Dr. Zhang!
The paper, titled CognixShield: PoV-Guided Vulnerable API Usage Detection in Large Codebases via LLMs, has been accepted at the
ESEM 2026!
Congratulations!
An exciting new chapter is beginning for our department in Alumni Hall!
Our new home gives us more space to grow, innovate, and connect. With upgraded facilities, we’re better equipped than ever to support hands-on learning and faculty-student collaboration.
"Vulnerabilities in code, once considered low risk in traditional software can become much more dangerous in AI-powered environments.” said Ying Zhang, an assistant professor of computer science at WFU.
