We sent 6 teams to the 2022 ICPC programming competition. the 6 teams to represent SJSU were chosen using a 5 hour qualifying competition at the beginning of february. because of COVID, the contest happened on february 25, 2023. it was our fourth year participating! this year, we had three division 1 teams and three division 2 teams in the pacific northwest region. (the hardest region in north america!) the competition involves teams of 3 students, one computer, 13 problems, and 5 hours (and that was after the 4 hour bus ride to chico!). you can try out the problems yourself at Problems from 2022 ICPC North America Regional Programming Contests.

Congratulations to Jamie Zuspann, Hugo Wong, Joshua Lawson, and Mohammed Naqvi. This semester they collaborated with a team of four students from the Technische Hochschule in Ingolstadt Germany on a project provided by SRI International. The team ultimately delivered a tool that will enable engineers to harvest and edit conceptual knowledge from the Web and save it in a form that can be used by SRI’s bRight platform. A German grant paid for the SJSU students to fly to Germany for the final presentation. The grant also provided funds for nightly visits to Bavarian beer gardens and excursions to local attractions. Two students- Jamie and Joshua- were offered (and accepted) long-term internships at SRI as a result of their work on the project. It is hoped that the project will be continued next Spring with a new team of SJSU students who are interested in combining research and travel.
