Nebraska School of Computing

Congratulations to all our computing students who have been named to the spring semester Deans’ List!

6,200-plus Huskers named to Deans’ List for spring 2026 More than 6,200 Husker students have been named to the Deans’ List for the spring semester of the 2025-26 academic year.

Assistant Professor Qiuming Yao is part of an interdisciplinary Husker research team exploring virovory — the phenomenon of organisms eating viruses as a food source — and its potential to combat the growth of toxic algal blooms in water sources.

NSF-funded project explores potential ally against harmful algal blooms Toxic cyanobacterial blooms can close lakes, contaminate drinking water and pose risks to human health. A new project at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln is exploring an unlikely tool for mitigating these blooms: virovory, the phenomenon of organisms eating viruses as a food source.

Congratulations to our students who received stipends from Nebraska UCARE to participate in research with a faculty mentor this summer!

129 Huskers receive stipends for summer research projects The University of Nebraska–Lincoln has awarded stipends to 129 Husker undergraduates to participate in research with a faculty mentor this summer.

Congratulations to assistant professor Qiang Liu! He's received a prestigious CAREER Award from the National Science Foundation to develop safer, more trustworthy AI-native solutions for next-generation mobile networks. His research will also involve creating new educational opportunities for students and bridging the digital divide across Nebraska.
