Computer Science DepartmentPhD Information Colloquium Have you set your goals to: • Shape the computer industry of the future? • Be part of state of the art research in various fields of computer science? • Take on leading Research & Development positions?
If you answered YES to any of these questions Then PhD might be for you Today: • Learn more about “What PhD is About” • Learn about some CS research groups • Computing • Computer Systems • Software Engineering
Will address the questions: • What is a PhD? • Why pursue a PhD degree? • How can you get into our PhD program?
Let’s cut to the chase • Show me the money: starting salaries are upwards of $100,000 (more like $120,000), if you join the industry or academia with a Ph.D. in CS
Computing Group • Hal Sudborough: sorting by reversals (genetics) • R. Chandrasekaran: combinatorics (genetics) • Ding-Zhu Du: theory everything (wireless nets) • OvidiuDaescu: computational geometry (bio-med) • Sergey Bereg: computational geometry (struct-bio) • BalajiRaghavachari: algorithms (TSP, optimization) • D.T. Huynh: automata theory (the backbone of CS)
Geometric and Bio-Medical Computing Laboratory • Dr. Ovidiu Daescu: Head of the laboratory Assistant Professor, Computer Science PhD: University of Notre Dame, USA • Associated Members • Dr. Sergey Bereg, Associate Professor, Computer Science • PhD: Institute of Mathematics, Belarus • Dr. R. Chandrasekaran, Ashbel Smith Professor, Computer Science • PhD: University of California Berkley, USA
Structural Biology How do proteins fold? How structure influences function?
