Our Research
I'm deeply committed to the belief that
a mind plus a machine can do more than either a mind or a machine alone
on most hard problems.
Dr. Frederick P.
Brooks, Jr.
Kenan Professor and
department founder
Research apprenticeships for graduate students are an important
part of our teaching philosophy. We conduct research in the
following areas:
- Algorithms and complexity theory
- Computer architectures
- Computer graphics and image analysis
- Computer-supported cooperative work
- Distributed systems
- Geometric modeling and computation
- Hardware systems and design
- Human-machine interaction
- Hypertext
- The Monte Carlo method
- Multimedia systems
- Networking
- Parallel computing
- Programming language design and implementation
- Real-time systems
- Software engineering and environments
- Theorem proving and term rewriting

We've got depth in some
fundamental areas in computer science such as architecture,
programming languages, operating systems, algorithms, and
numerical analysis, and we also do cutting edge research.
Most of us have not just looked at traditional problems and
tried to improve on them incrementally, but have actually
helped to establish new areas such as graphics, medical
imaging, user interfaces, hypertext, multimedia, and distributed
collaboration. From a research point of view, this is a great
place to be because you can easily find dissertation topics
in unexplored areas. When you go to industry you'll be working
on newer problems rather than just maintaining old software
or improving gradually on traditional work.
