Under Hui Chen鈥檚 leadership, 可乐视频 is not only keeping pace with technological change鈥攊t鈥檚 preparing students to lead it. By blending fundamentals with hands-on experience and an emphasis on ethics, our computer science programs equip graduates to navigate complex challenges and seize new opportunities. For Chen, the mission is clear: empower students to become adaptable, responsible innovators who will shape a future where technology serves humanity.

How is AI being integrated into the computer science curriculum at 可乐视频?

AI has long been an important component of the computer science curriculum at 可乐视频. Both required and elective courses include machine learning, AI, and computer ethics. Embracing recent advancements in AI, we also offer classes in pattern recognition, data mining, machine learning, neural networks, and artificial intelligence. Furthermore, our faculty are in active discussion about how to address the pedagogical challenges presented by AI, as well as to deepen students’ knowledge of the societal and ethical issues related to AI use.

What skills can students learn with a computer science degree that will make them better prepared for a career now that AI is here?

The most important skills remain problem solving and critical thinking. The distinction of a computer science major lies in the type of problems we solve, and the specific skills required to think critically within the domain. For example, AI tools can help our graduates write code; but they are far from able to determine whether that code truly meets user needs, is architecturally sound, or is robust enough to withstand security threats.

Students still need a solid foundation in computer science fundamentals, such as programming, data structures, algorithms, computability, systems architecture, and software engineering principles, to name a few. This core knowledge will enable graduates to work alongside AI tools, and not just depend on them. In addition, students need to develop a deep understanding of the strengths and limitations of AI tools, allowing them to become responsible practitioners.

We are seeing a shift in the emphasis placed on different knowledge and skill sets in computing. For instance, a graduate’s ability to master the syntax of a particular programming language may become less critical. At the same time, their ability to design, construct, and evaluate complex, multi-component computing systems becomes far more important. Students should be mindful of this, especially, when they are preparing themselves to join the workforce.

Do you have conversations with students about bias, privacy, misinformation, and the environmental impact of large data processing?

These are important and pressing issues. Computers and Ethics has been a long-standing course, which is jointly run with the Philosophy Department and is required for all of our major students. This course directly addresses these topics.

The course is also a designated writing-intensive course. Students engage in writing and presentations of analyses on real-world cases, including assessment of software systems or AI tools in use and design. This ensures our graduates are not only skilled computer science specialists but also responsible practitioners.

How do you see AI reshaping computer science programs in the next five to 10 years?

The role of computer science programs has been to transform curious learners into skilled, disciplined, and ethical practitioners in computing. Graduates often join the workforce as computer programmers, software developers, computer system analysts, and information security analysts. In the next few years, the role of computer science programs in society should still be as the main feeders of these career paths.

However, a shift is underway. The demand for entry-level computer programmers may decrease; but there should be an increase in careers that require high-level skills, such as software developers and information security analysts. Particularly, there should be a demand for professionals who can design, implement, and secure complex systems integrated with AI technologies.

AI advancement has brought about a shift that some characterize as seismic. Colleges should embrace this shift. First, on the level of computer science curriculum, we should explore ways to shift from language-centric, syntax-focused instruction to a pedagogy centered on AI-assisted problem-solving. This can include designing inputs for AI systems, evaluation of AI-generated code, and effectively applying software engineering principles in the presence of AI assistants.

Second, we should explore new course offerings. This can be an exploration of courses that go beyond using AI as a tool, such as teaching students to design computer systems that facilitate human-AI collaboration, including user experience design and delegated decision-making with AI.

Looking beyond computer science programs, colleges should continuously hold to their broader mission as knowledge curators and disseminators. Our fundamental purpose remains to prepare our students for enduring careers, not just their first job. We should continue to strengthen the fundamental knowledge and skills that enable lifelong learning.

Nevertheless, we should strive to balance enduring fundamentals with near-term job readiness. We should innovate cost-effective ways that are aimed at bridging the academia-industry gap with hands-on, AI-fluent practice. With both strong fundamentals and job-relevant, near-term experiences, we expect our graduates to prosper in the workforce, adapt in their careers, and contribute to a future where technology serves humanity.

If you were starting in your career today, would you still pursue a career in computer science?

Yes, without a doubt.

At its heart, computer science is about solving computational problems. I have been interested in solving problems in two closely related domains: computer science and computing education research. This career is a privilege that allows me to explore solutions for many problems in those domains. It has also been a privilege to work alongside students. The value our students bring to these pursuits far outstrips any AI assistants can offer.

The advice I wish to give students is to grow a genuine passion for the discipline and the profession. Computational problems in computer science span algorithmic foundations, hardware realization, linguistic realization, and their myriad applications. A long-standing 鈥渃rown jewel鈥� of those computational problems has been to investigate how to build machines that mimic the human mind. The pursuit to solve that computational problem has led to the recent advancement in AI.

In my view, AI is not a replacement for computer scientists; it is a catalyst. It invites and emboldens more people from all fields to seek computing solutions for problems in their lives and work. While there may be a cyclical downturn in computing jobs, AI will ultimately act as an amplifier鈥攃reating new, unforeseen roles, and thus eventually accelerating job growth in our society. The future belongs to those who are passionate, driven, and prepared.

鈥淭hey were forcefully taking girls and escorting them to Italy,鈥� Murati explains. 鈥淧eople abused the 鈥榥ew freedom鈥� by taking away other people鈥檚 freedom.鈥�

With this history in mind, Murati听says that college is not just the next step in her life; it’s a mission.

We spoke with her about her life in New York, her excitement about planning an upcoming competition, and her current internship at Con Edison.

听You moved from Albania to New York just a few years ago?

听I moved here when I was 18 to pursue my studies in computer science. Throughout my childhood in Albania, I was always interested in experiencing Western culture, whether in Europe or the United States. I always wanted to see in what way I could grow myself and shift my mentality to view the world from another perspective.

Do you plan to go back after you finish your studies?

Whenever I learn about a new technology, infrastructure, or business idea, I always find myself thinking about how I can adapt these models for potential investments in Albania. I never forget my roots, even though I鈥檓 looking for the light.

What has it been like here as an international student?

When you study abroad, you start a whole new life from scratch. Like many others, I had the idea that the only challenges I would have would be of an academic nature, but New York tests you in every aspect of your life. That鈥檚 also the beauty of it.

Sometimes my accent or my sense of humor doesn鈥檛 fit with the way native speakers communicate. But the thing about 可乐视频 is that it serves as an oasis for students from all parts of the world. Interacting with the students here has been a world tour for me because I鈥檝e learned about many cultures, languages, and religions. The amount of knowledge that I gain after class is sometimes comparable to what I get during class time.

What extracurriculars have you dived into?

I’ve been part of the Computer Science Club for two years. I’m a second-year club leader. This year, I’m the vice president. Being part of the club has been my main source of motivation in the field. The community is empowering and pushes me beyond my limits. Every day I learn something new. When you are surrounded by a group that isn鈥檛 there to judge you but, instead, help you, your growth is exponential.

A recent project that we鈥檙e organizing is called GameJam 2025. It鈥檚 a hackathon. I believe it will be the first in-person competition held by the 可乐视频 computer science students since the pandemic started. I鈥檓 excited to help bring the community back together and take initiatives that foster the participation of all experience levels鈥攁ll together, for a theme, for a goal.

When did your interest in computer science begin?

After my participation in the Albanian Science and Engineering Fair, which is very similar to a hackathon, I built a Nikola Tesla prototype that could transmit electricity wirelessly. It took several months to get all of the components, transmitters, accumulators, and electric circuits, to build it, and finally to see the product working. It was something that really fulfilled me. I felt joy being able to see a product actually working. I always say that everything looks good in PowerPoint, but building a working product for the real world requires a lot of testing and troubleshooting. Later, I discovered programming. I instantly knew that coding would give me the freedom I was looking for. It would help me connect all the dots.

You鈥檙e interning this semester at Con Edison. What is that like?

I鈥檓 a computer aide co-op of the AMI team. I find myself moving as a free electron around the team, from one meeting to another, hearing insights from one vendor to another. I鈥檓 getting to understand the hierarchy of work it takes to keep New York City and Westchester County supplied with electricity. The experience is definitely opening a new window in my career.

Rivka Levitan 鈥�09 is an associate professor of computer and information science and is an expert in spoken language processing, discourse, and human computer interaction. Her research in the area of entrainment鈥攖he phenomenon by which conversational partners start to talk more like each other鈥攅arned her an NSF Career Award.

With AI becoming more and more prevalent both inside and outside of classrooms, we asked her about these new technological trends and their benefits and potential problems.

AI is currently being used in Amazon鈥檚 Alexa, Apple鈥檚 Siri, text-to-speak, and other similar technologies. How are these evolving and expanding to include even more human characteristics, and what are the implications?

Everyone who uses these technologies can see that they鈥檝e improved unbelievably even over the past year. The accuracy of automatic speech recognition keeps going up, and text-to-speech sounds more fluent and natural. As these technologies get better, they鈥檙e replacing human workers such as call center employees, personal assistants, and voice actors. A stranger implication is the concern, recently expressed by Open AI, that users may become emotionally attached to their chatbot when interacting with it in voice mode. New technologies have always rendered some jobs obsolete, but no one ever fell in love with their loom.

Another worrying implication is that these advances are uneven, leaving people who aren鈥檛 native speakers of Standard American English behind. As automatic speech recognition becomes more accurate, it鈥檚 being adopted in more and more customer service contexts and workplaces. But it isn鈥檛 becoming more accurate for everyone. For example, voice-to-text on my Google phone doesn鈥檛 recognize 鈥淩ivka鈥� or 鈥淟evitan.鈥�

Students are using technology more and more for their classes. How do you see it being useful, and what advice would you give students who use AI tools such as ChatGPT?

ChatGPT can be very useful as a timesaving device, and I use it a lot with prompts like 鈥渟uggest five ways to phrase this鈥� or 鈥済enerate a polite negative response to this e-mail.鈥� I also sometimes use Github Copilot, which generates code.

Like everyone who uses these technologies, students should be aware that they鈥檙e very often wrong. ChatGPT will invent quotes, dates, citations, and statistics. Everyone has someone in their life who will say absolutely anything as long as it sounds good. They might be fun to talk to, but you wouldn鈥檛 hand in an essay they wrote for you, or repeat anything you heard from them, without verifying it with a more reliable source.

Even more importantly, when you write an essay, the point isn鈥檛 the five paragraphs but the ability to understand a topic, take a stance, and convey it in an organized, coherent way. Even as technology gets better and better, I don鈥檛 think anyone will be able to reach the top of their field without the ability to do that. On the other hand, I think that once someone has that understanding, stance, and organized argument, most of the time it won鈥檛 matter if they generate the actual five paragraphs using AI. But until you have that ability, don鈥檛 cheat yourself of the opportunity to acquire it during the years you鈥檙e fortunate enough to be getting graded feedback on your work. This all applies to programming as well.

What courses are being offered at 可乐视频 for students to expand their knowledge about AI?

In addition to Data Analysis (CISC 3225), the Computer and Information Science Department offers a class on Artificial Intelligence (CISC 3410) and Machine Learning (CISC 3440). These are advanced electives, and to quote a student comment that I like to use to set expectations: 鈥淎I is not about cool stuff like many people think. Especially with this professor it鈥檚 a nightmare. You better know Calc2, Advanced Statistics, Discrete Structures, and Algorithms like your favorite song you sing in the shower.

She wants to see the design and user experience level up and plans to devote her career to just that.

This summer, she鈥檚 taking an art class and working at the Women鈥檚 Center听as a member of 鈥淭he Squad,鈥� a close-knit group of students that plans events and outreach. She also serves on the e-board of the center鈥檚 Women鈥檚 History Month Committee.

We spoke with her about her college support system, what she does to tap into her creative side, and how she plans to change the gaming industry.

What inspired you to turn your passion for video games into a career?

I love video games, whether it’s single-player, person versus person, or RPG. I play tons of them and watch Twitch streamers. I want to be a part of building the next generation of video games in whatever way that I can. That’s why I was originally a computer science major with a focus on multimedia computing, but I decided that digital art was more of my path. People talk about the software engineers or the front-end or back-end people, but no one talks about the people who work on how you interact with a video game, website, or app. I鈥檓 integrating what I love and what I鈥檓 good at.

What do you want to change about video games?

I want to use design to make video games feel more seamless and intuitive to play in terms of navigating menus and customization. I want to make games feel better to click through and less frustrating. It鈥檚 all the same fonts, the same basic formula. As a designer, I would be bolder and lean into the concepts that we’re trying to portray and not the simple formula that everyone uses.

There鈥檚 not much innovation in video games right now at big companies鈥攖hey鈥檙e all just doing the same thing over and over again. I hope to someday work for an indie video game company or a start-up that鈥檚 not afraid to try something new. I don’t mind making a bit less than the designers at big companies if I get to do work that I’m proud of.

What is it like being a member of 鈥淭he Squad鈥� at the Women鈥檚 Center?

The Women’s Center has really helped me. At first, I was a bit shy, but everyone there made me feel so welcome. They鈥檙e very empathetic and have supported me through tough times鈥攁 support system is so important to be successful in college, especially if you don鈥檛 have a good support system at home. I鈥檓 the oldest child and have two younger sisters, but at the Women’s Center, it’s like I have a bunch of older sisters and sisters closer to my age.听I help run events and outreach, which can impact someone who might not have had that resource before. I was once that student who had nowhere to go after class besides home. That鈥檚 why I love the Women’s Center so much.

You鈥檙e also a part of CUNYEdge.

I wish I had gotten involved in CUNY EDGE sooner. Monique Ngozi Nri [鈥�21], the CUNY EDGE director at 可乐视频, inspired me to apply for scholarships. I didn鈥檛 think I had anything interesting to write about in the essay, but Monique encouraged me to go for it. So I applied and I got it. I owe a lot of my personal growth to CUNY EDGE. Without it, and the Women鈥檚 Center, I think that I would鈥檝e dropped out of school. People pushed me and cheered me on, always helping me figure out what to do, who to talk to, and where to go. Before, I was kind of lost.

You鈥檙e taking a summer class. How is that going?

I鈥檓 taking ART 2210, which I鈥檝e had a lot of fun in. It has helped me develop my drawing skills. I decided that a summer course couldn鈥檛 hurt鈥攊t could only help me. I like the fast pace of summer classes because they鈥檙e not spread out throughout the whole semester. I like being active on campus in the nice weather.

You sound like a very creative person.

I鈥檝e always been a dreamer. One of my hobbies is acting. I love the rush of getting on stage. I did theater in high school, but now I mostly act in student films. I also read a lot of fantasy and fiction, listen to music, and write. I鈥檓 happier now that I鈥檝e leaned into the creative side of me.

The international student has worked at global consulting firms and had an apprenticeship at Google. From creating software solutions to becoming an expert in machine learning, he has designed a blueprint for his future.

You moved across the world to pursue computer science.

I was working with a company back home in India, dealing with products and clients. I hit a point where I felt stuck and didn鈥檛 have a lot of growth opportunities. So I decided to pursue my master’s abroad, which is how I got to 可乐视频. I love the rush of solving a problem, and I get to do that now. When I moved here, I dived right into the city with work, sports, and friends.

What outside-of-the-classroom moments and stories will stick with you? The kind you will probably end up telling your grandkids about.

I’m in . I鈥檒l always remember hanging out with my fraternity brothers and going to meetings in different states, or getting dinner together at the Applebee鈥檚 near campus.

What specific skills has 可乐视频 given you that you think will most help you navigate life after graduation, and how did the college help you develop those skills?

I鈥檝e learned how to be a good public speaker and teacher. I鈥檓 an adjunct lecturer and it鈥檚 very fulfilling. I used to lack confidence, but 可乐视频鈥檚 supportive environment helped me become more confident being at the center of the room.

How do you spend your free time?

Playing and foosball with other students. It鈥檚 fun. I鈥檝e learned about teamwork and have gotten to connect with people outside of class. I鈥檝e made a lot of friends who I hang out with now.

What are your goals for after graduation?

I want to bring my innovation to the computer science field. I hope to be involved in projects that I鈥檓 passionate about and that will challenge me. Also, I want to learn more about AI and software development so I can apply it to what I do in my career.

The post Countdown to Commencement: Innovation Is His Game appeared first on 可乐视频.

Could you tell us a bit about your background?

I grew up in Canarsie, Brooklyn. My family is from Haiti, so I’m first generation. Growing up I was always super interested in video games as an art form, not just a pastime, but something to draw inspiration from, and that drove my career choice. I always loved to be around computers. I was working when I was 14, tutoring other students in math and science at an afterschool program.

It sounds like you knew early on where you were going career-wise.

My motivation for working is that I wanted some Air Jordans and couldn鈥檛 afford them. I knew that I had to work hard to get them. In my spare time, I’d be in forums creating internet art for people and designing assets for online games. I made custom fighting games using an engine called Mugen, and that got me wanting to work more with computers. I graduated from Medgar Evers College Preparatory School and got a great education there. I started at NYU but dropped out because of financial issues. I applied to 可乐视频鈥攊t was one of the best options in terms of location and also has a strong computer science program. I immersed myself in the culture: I was a peer mentor for the Black and Latino Male Initiative and the CSTEP [College Science and Technology Entry Program]. I’d go to the Magner Career Center every week, get some career counseling, sought internships.

Were you able to find internships in your major?

I interned at the New York City Department of Information Technology & Telecommunications in tech support. I ended up getting a second internship after networking at a Google cybersecurity event as an analyst for an Aon-owned company called Stroz Friedberg. I did some development there because I already knew how to code. So I created some software tools and some security tools, and I made that connection with Aon.

So you already had some solid connections toward a career in computer science before you left college.

Yes, but before I graduated, I started a business. It all arose from a final project for a capstone course where we had to build a website. I chose to make mine for a clothing brand I called 鈥淣ull鈥�, which turned out to be a real thing.

How so? How did you go from your college project to an apparel business?

It started with just a T-shirt. It was the middle of 2020, and I was working as a full-time data engineer at the Department of Information Technology & Telecommunications鈥擨 was hired after my internship there. It was right during the nationwide protests against the killing of George Floyd. I came up with a Black Lives Matter graphic that I put on tees under the Null brand I created at college and sold them. I had been creating pixel art and had designed other pop culture icons during my capstone project, so I embroidered them on clothing, and those sold. It went from there. I got hired as a software engineer by a music startup called So Far Sounds and started earning enough money to be able to invest in NULL. That led to pop-up shops. I broke a one-day sales record with my pop-up shop at Canal Street Market downtown next to Chinatown. Now I鈥檓 a creative director designing, producing, and selling hats, T-shirts, and hoodies all with pixelated graphics. A shop in Japan鈥攖he New New York Club鈥攈as commissioned my apparel.

Did you have any training in design or did you just create the character on your apparel freestyle?

I took a woodcut printmaking course at 可乐视频 during my senior year, and that was it. That sparked my interest in showcasing my art skills more publicly. Even now I’ve been trying to teach myself VFX graphics and graphical programming. It鈥檚 math and it鈥檚 art. I’ve been experimenting with mostly cut-and-sew designs [using paper patterns] and exploring a lot of that stuff. It鈥檚 kind of crazy to look back and see me being a studious kind of guy in computer science, and then becoming a pixel artist, using my computer engineering skills to do something different. I believe that science and art majors should take a course or two in the other discipline; it widens your perspective

Why the name Null?

In computer science the word null is given to objects that are created in memory that have no assigned value. It’s a state of emptiness. I saw it and thought I鈥檇 use it. Null is a pun on the relationship we have with clothes. They have no value when we purchase them beyond the cost until we as consumers give them value, whether it鈥檚 an article of clothing that is trendy, or something hard to get that everybody wants.

Today you are a software engineer at Eventbrite.

Yes, the online event management and ticketing site. I鈥檓 a full-stack developer, which means I can build the front and back end of a website. I build components, like the navigation bar and specific pages like the 鈥渢hings-to-do鈥� page. Those are then rendered for about 100 different countries. I鈥檓 also part of a team that works to make sure that Eventbrite shows up on the top of internet searches. It鈥檚 enjoyable work for sure

Have you stayed in touch with 可乐视频?

I鈥檝e been working to see if we can recruit 可乐视频 students to intern for engineers at Eventbrite. I would have loved to do that kind of internship when I was in school. A software engineering internship is competitive; it鈥檚 often tough to get one.

Aside from your apparel are you doing anything design-related?

I’ve had a pretty successful side hustle as an animator for GIPHY, with around 1.6 billion impressions on my work. And I recently had the pleasure of teaching a brand design workshop at the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum. I talked about my experience as a creative engineer and my design philosophy and process. When I do something like the workshop, I always lead by saying I鈥檓 proud to be a 可乐视频 alumnus.

I believe that it was a successful start toward our efforts of strengthening ties between students and faculty outside of the classroom.鈥�

Iftakher鈥檚 people-person nature aligns perfectly with the role. 鈥淚 enjoy talking to students and learning more about them, like what they do in school and what they鈥檙e passionate about,鈥� she says. 鈥淚 want to know what I can do to help people, and then bring those ideas to USG.鈥�

Within Policy Council, which advises and provides recommendations to President Michelle J. Anderson on college matters, she is a member of the Faculty-Student Relations Committee. Iftakher puts her all into the committee鈥檚 mission to enhance the experiences of the students and faculty. At meetings, she proposes new ideas, such as how to balance club hours with class times. 鈥淚 want everyone to benefit from the changes that Policy Council and USG make on campus. It鈥檚 important to me that students feel comfortable going to their professors and seeking mentorship from them, and that faculty understand what their students need.鈥�

Although her academic and extracurricular achievements owe much to her seemingly boundless energy, Iftakher still values guidance from experts. Through the Tow Mentorship Initiative, she has taken advantage of unique mentorship and research opportunities.

鈥�Associate Professor Kletenik, who taught my game design course, asked me to be part of a research project on software accessibility in simulation games for cancer survivors with disabilities,鈥� she says.

She presented the data findings on software accessibility at the Tow Research and Mentoring Conference in 2023.

鈥淩esearching the idea of an accessible simulation game was a perfect fit because it played to a lot of my strengths. Beforehand, I was unsure about my plans with computer science, beyond becoming a software engineer. The creative implementation of programming techniques appeals to my interest in the arts,鈥� she says. 鈥淧eople might expect STEM majors like me to just like math and numbers, but I love art, too,鈥� Iftakher says. 鈥淪o I balance them in my life.鈥�

鈥淲hen I鈥檓 not drawing, I solve puzzles to unwind. Puzzles are similar to computer science, in a way,鈥� she says. 鈥淏oth can be frustrating. I鈥檓 not always the first person in the class to have the answer or the fastest to solve a puzzle, but I like putting time and practice into something and then get a rush of endorphins when I solve it and everything fits together.鈥�

As Iftakher wraps up her degree, she is exploring internship opportunities, along with master鈥檚 and Ph.D. programs, and figuring out how to put the pieces of her future together.
