Andrew C. Freeman, computer science researcher and educator
I’m a Computer Science PhD candidate at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Before that, I got a B.S. in Computer Science and Mathematics from Samford University in Birmingham, Alabama. And before that, I grew up near Dallas, Texas.
My research focuses on multimedia systems. I’m exploring asynchronous event representations for video, event compression, and event applications.
In August 2024, I will join the faculty of Baylor University as an Assistant Professor of Computer Science.

Mentoring & Collaboration
Undergraduate/Graduate Students
During my time at UNC, I have had the pleasure of working with and mentoring many other students/academics in research. Some of those students include:
- Eric Schneider (MS student)
- Noah Green (BS student)
- Finn Stewart James (BS student)
- Chris Burgess (MS student)
- Felipe Chiavegatto (BS student)
- Rahul Patel (PhD student, Zylka Lab)
In addition, I led four teams of undergraduate learning assistants during my first two years of graduate school.
Polygence (High School Students)
I mentor high school research projects through the Polygence platform.
Students mentored for full research projects:
- Jyotsna Raghavan, Cornell University Class of 2027
- Rishit Shiramshetti
- Sam Newmark
- Raghav Sareen
- Austin Han
Through the Polygence Pathfinders program, I have also met individually with 30+ high school students to discuss the world of computer science studies, job opportunities, research, and college applications.
Statement of Values
As a covenant member of the Summit Church, I hold to the Baptist Faith and Message.
I believe in the sanctity of all life, including the lives of the unborn. I believe there is objective morality and that the ultimate purpose of our lives is to know God and make him known.
