Engineering (PHD) - Computer Engineering-Computer Science

This specialization aims to increase graduate students' breadth of knowledge and develops depth of specialization in a subfield of computer engineering with a strong supporting foundation in computer science. 

The School of Computing offers opportunities for students to develop teaching skills in support of undergraduate instruction and to enhance research skills in support of the department's active research programs. The goal is to build a foundation for future scientific discovery, engineering innovation, and scholarly and professional achievement.

Areas of research include: (faculty bios)

• Systems and Networking: Computer networks; cyber-physical systems; wireless networking; Internet of Things; molecular communication; synthetic biology; deep learning architectures; security and privacy; robotics; embedded systems; sensors and sensor networks.
• Software Engineering: Eye tracking; empirical software engineering; program analysis and verification; programming languages; and software testing and reliability.
• Informatics and Algorithmics Foundations: Algorithms; artificial intelligence; bioinformatics; computational complexity; computational game theory; computer vision; computing education; constraint processing; data mining; databases; geoinformatics; machine learning; multiagent systems; simulation and modeling; and visualization.

The School of Computing is home to advanced computing research infrastructure, including the Holland Computing Center, with over 121 trillion floating-point operations per second (121 TFlops) computation rate and over 7 petabytes of storage. Graduate students have access to state-of-the-art research facilities, including unmanned aerial vehicle testbeds, a city-wide gigabit wireless network testbed, advanced embedded systems facilities, and dedicated research labs.
