The Department of Computer Science is dedicated to creating the American research university of the information age.
Our faculty and researchers believe that the science behind computing has become so deep and information technology
so pervasive that they are now relevant to every subject in the university; indeed, our discipline epitomizes the
notion of an enabling science. Our faculty and researchers embrace this philosophy and illustrate its utility with
current research that touches many fields and areas of interests.
