Meet Laszlo Hollander. Laszlo has been a mentor in UBC Computer Science’s Tri-Mentoring Program for 22 years! He started studying computer science at UBC as a mature student and was advised by Professor Dr. George Tsiknis, who shaped his life and career. Seeing how impactful mentorship was in his life, he decided to give back to the computer science community and become a mentor himself. As our most long-standing mentor, Laszlo shares his experience helping students in the Tri-Mentoring Program in our new article: https://lnkd.in/gxVCWN_B

For the last 4 months, these UBC undergraduate computer science students conducted original scientific research with our faculty members. In late August, they presented their projects at the Summer Undergraduate Research Poster Event, with topics ranging from intrusion detection systems to haptic robots to AI-driven experiments. Congratulations to our undergraduate researchers on their successful summer projects!
