Our department is strong in many research areas of Computer Science, including artificial intelligence, computer architecture and systems, formal methods, distributed computing, and theory of computation. We also have vigorous groups in computational biology and bioinformatics, graphics and visualization, networking, and security, among others. The department enjoys close ties with several other groups on the UT Austin campus engaged in computing research, namely the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, the Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences, and the Texas Advanced Computing Center.
We are located in Austin, Texas, which has developed into one of the nation's major centers of technology-based entrepreneurship. Consistently ranked as one of the country's most livable cities, Austin takes pride in its nationally recognized environmental preservation programs. Its citizens enjoy 30 miles of hike-and-bike trails, 172 city parks, 18 golf courses, 9 wilderness areas, 7 area lakes, and more than 11,000 acres of parkland.
