Great Loss to the Department of Computer Science
6/12/2002
Dr. Steve Seiden, Assistant Professor
It is with sadness to report that Dr. Steve Seiden was hit by a truck while
riding his bike with a number of others. He died on the spot. Accident time
was around 6:15 p.m. last night.
Dr. Steve Seiden, who has been on the faculty of Computer Science since 1999,
has a doctorate in Information and Computer Science from University of California,
Irvine. He was a very promising faculty in our department. His wife is pregnant
and expecting a baby shortly. It is a sad loss of a good and talented professor.
With profound sadness.
... he definitely was a bright star on the horizon of the department. Such
a terrible loss.
