Research
The computing and information revolution is transforming society.
The Cornell Computer Science PhD program is
a leader in this transformation,
producing cutting-edge research in many important areas. With the
excellence of our faculty and students, and their drive to discover and
collaborate, our leadership will continue to grow.
The contributions of
Cornell Computer Science to research and education are
widely recognized. In 2002 alone, a current
Cornell faculty member and a recent graduate of the program each won a
MacArthur "genius" award for innovative work in information technology.
