| This project will investigate P-inseparable and complete NP-pairs, in particular whether they can be derived from a hypothesis that is weaker than any of the known ones, and whether existence of these NP-pairs have strong consequences that are unknown before. The proposed project also aims to address the remaining open questions regarding structural properties of complete sets especially those having major impact in complexity theory if settled. | |||

||
| This project aims to provide a hybrid model of education to cater to Hispanics students who may not be able to commit time on face-to-face instruction on a full time basis due to time constraints from work and families (among other reasons) where instructions in classes are implemented partly on a face-to-face model and partly on an online model. | |||

|
| The purpose of this project is acquiring Futuro, a computer cluster for high performance parallel computing. Futuro will enable computational science research projects and computer science education with impact in bioinformatics, data mining, pattern discovery, genetic data analysis, experimental astronomical physical, collaborative filtering, theory of computation, high dimensional visualization, and other computational areas. The project seeks to lay the foundation for a strong research and education integration centered on computer science in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas. | |||
