The Link Magazine

Rising to the Challenges of COVID-19

The magazine of Carnegie Mellon University's School of Computer Science

Its name recognizes the pioneering work of two of the School of Computer Science's co-founders, Allen Newell and Herb Simon, who invented the use of linked-list data structures for representing complex information.

But it also serves as the link between the School of Computer Science and more than 10,000 alumni, colleagues, parents and other friends around the world.

Recent Issues

Alumni Snapshot: Brendan Meeder

Andrew’s Leap was “an eye-opening experience,” says Brendan Meeder (CS 2007, 2015)
Alumni Snapshot: Jennifer Cerully

“A lot of people ask me about the movie ‘Dr. Strangelove,’” says Jennifer Cerully (CS 2004)
More mobility for everyone

Smartphones have revolutionized life for most people, but many of their apps exclude with limited or no vision. Researchers are working on ways to make mobile devices an ‘all-access’ pass for the sight-impaired
Alive, autonomous and well

As robotics technology increasingly moves from the theoretical to practical, clients are still coming to CMU’s National Robotics Engineering Center—just not with ‘easy projects’
Life, the university and everything

A Google-funded research expedition is allowing CMU faculty and students to live inside the ‘Internet of Things’—and understand the promise and perils of unprecedented interconnectedness
In the Loop: Jessica Hammer
Much more than the sum of the parts

Modern artificial intelligence research integrates different approaches and disciplines—and so does a writer trying to understand the state of the field in the 21st century
Then and Now: The 2,850-mile, no-hands road trip

In 1995, Dean Pomerleau (CS’92) and Todd Jochem (CS’93,’96) of CMU took an epic journey from Pittsburgh to San Diego.
Getting your fair share

Divvying up a check, rent or academic credit can lead to hurt feelings and worse. Spliddit hopes to change that
Like Lou, living in hope

In the face of long odds, Neil Alexander refused to give up.
