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

Soft, but not weak

Real-life “soft robotics” aren’t that dissimilar from those explored in the hit movie "Big Hero 6"
Meeting the demand

SCS now turns away almost 95 percent of those who apply to its undergraduate program, which leads to two obvious questions: Can more students be admitted without diluting the qualities that made the program so desirable in the first place? If so, how?
Alumni Snapshot: Daniel Avrahami (CS'05,'07)

The goal of bringing a positive experience to computer users led Daniel Avrahami to pursue a master’s degree in HCI at Carnegie Mellon.
Alumni Snapshot: Poornima Kaniarasu (CS'13)

Who’s peeking at your personal data?

“Privacy engineering” doesn’t grab the same headlines as computer security, but it’s a fast-growing field for Carnegie Mellon researchers, educators and students. It should concern you, too.
