Hello all,

Just curious about what the folks on this site think. I am currently finishing an undergrad degree for comp sci. I am interested in going to grad school and some of the programs I've looked into ask, and encourage, research as an undergrad. I'm doing school online so really connecting with a professor is a bit hard. Since most of the communication with my professor's is by email to, on the rare occasion, tell them I might be late getting in an assignment.

Anyway, I have been contacting every one of my CS professors asking if they are conducting research I can assist with. So far none of them seem to be. They're all adjunct professors so maybe my school is a side hustle.

Here is my question: Has anyone here had any experience doing computer science research? If I wanted to try and publish my own research, could I even do that? If so, how would I start? I'm just curious what the amazing community here thinks about it.
