Our faculty members have wide-ranging interests and research projects, with concentrations in artificial intelligence, computer graphics and scientific visualization, database and knowledge base systems, operating systems and computer networks, parallel computing and compiler design, and theoretical computer science. Many of our graduate students are mentored by a faculty member, which often leads to publication and participation in grant-funded projects. A large percentage of our graduate students receive financial aid, often in the form of teaching assistantships, research assistantships and scholarships.
