Welcome to the MAGICS Research Lab

The MAGICS Research Lab is part of the Department of Computer Science at the University of San Francisco. We focus on machine learning and artificial intelligence.

Meetings are open to the public. Beginners, practitioners, and researchers are all welcome. See the Meetings page for the current schedule and Zoom link.

Why Join MAGICS?

MAGICS is a great opportunity for students to learn about the current developments in the tech world as well as cultivate the skills that are needed to accurately research and build new tech.

• The demand for technical research and R&D is surging at companies as they explore AI.
• The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics has defined roles in Computer and Information Research Scientists as a key growth area in the tech industry.
• Add to your resume to stand out when applying for internships and jobs.
• Work closely with academic advisors who can guide you and help your personal growth.

How do we do it?

Machine learning, natural language processing, deep learning, and several other techniques using Python, Java, C/C++/C#, SQL/MySQL/MariaDB, MongoDB, Spark, and our very own GPUs.

Get involved

Our meetings generally revolve around project updates, discussions, short tutorials, and coverage of the latest research in our fields of study. This semester, we are introducing reading groups where students can learn about current developments in tech and discover research they are interested in. See our meetings tab to learn more.
