The faculty and students in the department have a broad range of research interests, including:

  • artificial intelligence
  • bioinformatics
  • computer architecture
  • computer graphics
  • computer networking
  • computer security
  • distributed peer-to-peer systems
  • embedded computing
  • high-performance computing
  • logic and the foundations of computer science
  • mobile networking
  • operating systems
  • physical computing and robotics
  • programming language theory
  • virtual machines

Faculty collaborate with their colleagues across both engineering and natural science, but have particularly strong ties with computational and applied mathematics and electrical and computer engineering, with a number of collaborations in the Texas Medical Center. Current projects include algorithmic drug design, compilers for embedded applications, component-based software, computer-aided design verification, automated proof-checkers, high school computer education, Java-based applications, multiprocessor cluster computing, national grid computing, and scalable Web servers.
