Students


ARCANA Research Group logo I lead the ARCANA Research Group (ARCANA stands for Architects Reimagining Computing Around New Applications). I am fortunate enough to work with a fanastic set of students! While we work on a full group website, you can see our student members below, along with recent group news. Also, check out our YouTube channel, which features talks on several of our group's projects.
