Research
Research initiatives in the Department of Computer Science & Engineering are designed to be a natural fit with the research strengths of the university as a whole. Students, undergraduate and graduate, have many opportunities to be involved in research,
in collaborations with department faculty and in interdisciplinary teams with faculty and students from other departments. The primary research focus areas of our faculty are listed below:
