Meet Computer Science and SAGA Lab Grad Branden Heng
Experiences in the Simulations and Game Applications Lab in UTCS proved key for his time on the Forty Acres.
Among the graduates being celebrated this May are December graduates like Branden Heng. Branden studied computer science and gained first-hand experience during his time at UT as part of the Simulations and Game Applications Lab (SAGA), led by Paul Toprac. SAGA has spent the last decade connecting teams of students to project opportunities, often with faculty and groups across the University.
Branden’s work with fellow students in computer science put him in a mentoring role working with peers. He also presented at a computer science conference about using artificial intelligence in game development. Most exciting of all, Branden developed a game called Golfin Slayer, which you can learn all about in this Texas Science video.
