Computer Science
Our computer science programs cover the foundations of computing including algorithms, data structures, software engineering, and theoretical principles that underpin technology.
Our research ad-driven system design, focusing on efficient hardware, optimized large language model (LLM) training, edge computing, and secure, privacy-preserving technologies.
Our students, supervised by our world-class faculty, get unique hands-on experience by developing and evaluating algorithms on complex real datasets.
The University offers Ph.D. and M.Sc. degrees in computer science with exceptionally advanced courses and outcomes.
Chair's Message
In the age of AI, computer science (CS) continues to be the foundational engine driving innovation, understanding, and progress across the computing landscape. From the mathematical underpinnings of algorithms to the infrastructure that powers large-scale model training and deployment, CS provides the essential knowledge and tools that propel the AI revolution. Our department is committed to advancing research and education, with a focus on building efficient, scalable, sustainable, and trustworthy technologies to meet the evolving challenges of computing.
