About the Department of Computer Science
The Department of Computer Science offers programs
leading to the B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees. The
Ph.D. program, which first admitted students in 2001, has produced 43
graduates so far and has a current enrollment of about 70.
Active research areas in the department include
bioinformatics, graphics and visualization, networks and distributed
systems, and algorithms. The department emphasizes interdisciplinary
research. Current projects involve collaborations with the Departments of
Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Astronomy, and Mathematics and Statistics,
among others. In addition to running its own bioinformatics program, the
Department of Computer Science participates in Georgia State’s Molecular
Basis of Disease and Brains and Behavior programs.
Many department faculty are leading experts in their
fields; they serve on panels and study sections at agencies such as NIH
and NSF, on journal editorial boards, and as officers in
professional societies. The department is also home to the editorial
offices of four book series and two journals. Faculty members are
supported by many grants from NSF, NIH, and other agencies. The
department’s annual research budget exceeds one million dollars.
