Our computer science faculty are deeply engaged in cutting-edge research within their respective fields. They actively contribute to international and national research forums through publications and presentations. This dedication to advancing knowledge forms the core of our curriculum.

Their diverse research backgrounds bring a wealth of expertise into the classroom. This enables us to provide students with valuable insights into the dynamic realms of computer science and technology.

 

Student Research

Our research programs offer upper-level students various ways to explore the world of computer science research. If you're curious about what research in CS involves, you can begin by attending our CS Research Seminar every other Friday during the semester. In these seminars, our professors share their latest research findings.

For those eager to dive deeper into research, there are several options. You can pursue independent studies for college credit, become a research assistant, or complete a three-semester honors thesis as part of your major.
