The PhD in Computer Science program is designed to prepare students for leadership careers in research and education in computer science and interdisciplinary work using computer science.
The program has twenty tenure-track faculty conducting research in the following areas: algorithmic fairness, algorithmic mechanism design, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, computer-aided design, computer science education, computer vision, human-computer interaction, information assurance and security, machine learning, privacy, programming languages, scientific computing, software engineering, and theory. The department's research activities involve both undergraduate and graduate students. The College endeavors to provide a working environment fostering excellence in research, with a particular view towards expertise in problem areas requiring a multi-disciplinary approach. Research opportunities for computer science students also exist in some of the multi-departmental research projects that include faculty from other departments, such as electrical and computer engineering, biomedical engineering, mechanical engineering, digital media, mathematics, information science and medicine.
The College’s research labs are fully equipped with computers and special-purpose instrumentation. The research support infrastructure includes high-performance computing systems, system administration staff and high-speed access to Internet2.
