We Are Computing. 💻🤘

Computing is bigger than any one discipline. It’s a community bringing different perspectives together to solve meaningful problems and shape what’s next.

The new School of Computing at @utaustintx unites computer science, information and statistics & data science.

Builder, researcher, teacher, data analyst, or the person keeping it all running — you are part of what computing is.

Together, we can do more. taken in The University of Texas at Austin by @texasischool

🎉 Congratulations iSchool professors Angela D. R. Smith, Earl Huff Jr. and Ying Ding for receiving 2026 Good Systems Seed Grants! 🎉

Good Systems: Ethical AI at UT Austin is one of the three campus-wide Bridging Barriers Research Grand Challenges. Good Systems recently held an internal seed-funding competition for interdisciplinary faculty teams at UT pursuing projects at the convergence of AI design, human values, and societal need.

This year, out of six Good Systems seed grants announced, three feature principal investigators or co-PIs from the iSchool: professors Angela D.R. Smith, Earl Huff, Jr., and Ying Ding. Each seed grant provides up to $50,000 to support each project for one year and to help build toward further external funding.

Dr. Ken Fleischmann, interim dean and chair designate of the iSchool, is the founding chair of Good Systems. He salutes all the winners, and especially his iSchool colleagues.

“The iSchool has long focused on ethical AI and has been a key contributor since Good Systems launched in 2019, and I am delighted that three more outstanding colleagues’ research will be funded as a result of our seed grant program,” he says. “Huge congratulations to Angela, Earl, and Ying!”

🌟 iSchool Alumni Spotlight 🌟

We’re excited to kick off a new series celebrating the incredible stories and accomplishments of our alumni!

This week's feature highlights Madeline Moya, the City Archivist for the City of Portland.

💡 What Madeline loves about her current role:
“ I love to see people using our historical records to advocate for their neighborhoods and communities. Researchers have recently used City records to press the Bureau of Transportation to improve traffic infrastructure in their neighborhood at a dangerous intersection, and our historical collections were also used as discovery materials last year by a group of Black Portlanders who successfully sued the City for displacing their families in the name of "urban renewal" in the 1960s. It's exciting to be able to work with records throughout their entire life cycle and understand how crucial records management processes are to ensuring public access to information."

🎓 How the iSchool prepared her:
“The internships that I had during my time at the iSchool really rounded out my education. I worked at the Harry Ransom Center (under the supervision of iSchool alum Albert Palacios) which gave me opportunities in preservation, composing finding aids, digitization, and museum exhibition. I was a Purple Shirt TA in the IT Lab, which really expanded my technical knowledge and taught me how to write documentation, create tutorials, and train people on complex processes. I also got to work closely with the iSchool's stellar IT staff who taught me how to write code and build websites, a bonus education that propelled my career as I applied those skills to building online exhibits."
