LSAMP Research Scholars
Mauricio Flores, who is working with ASARG as an LSAMP scholar, presented his research at a poster session on July 31. The NSF Louis Stokes Alliance Minority Participation program is very selective with only a handful of students selected each year. They present on their research multiple times with the culmination being a talk and poster session at the end of their efforts.
Mauricio has been working on Unique Assembly Verification on multiple assemblies. This work began last year and was on the back burner until Mauricio decided to take over. We appreciate all his hard work and contributions as part of the group. We also want to congratulate him on his successful tenure as an LSAMP scholar!

Short abstract accepted to JCDCG^3 2018
A short abstract and presentation was accepted to be presented at the 21st Japan Conference on Discrete and Computational Geometry, Graphs, and Games. The paper, titled Tile Pattern-Building Games on a Grid are PSPACE-complete, is the outcome of a class project led by Angel and Austin from the Spring 2017 special topics course on games and computation. The full author list is Arturo Gonzalez, Cesar Lozano, Austin Luchsinger, Eduardo Medina, Fernando Martinez, Arnoldo Ramirez, and Tim Wylie.
