Message from the Chair

David NaumannDr. David Naumann, Chair of the Department of Computer ScienceComputer Science at Stevens Institute of Technology is one of the largest and fastest-growing departments at the university and the cornerstone of the Stevens School of Computing.

The program strives to nurture the next generation of computer scientists who will be prepared to enter a rapidly growing technology field. In addition to our emphasis on problem-solving skills and theoretical foundations, we instill our students with hands-on programming experience and necessary business skills. Our students are immersed in the integration of science, technology and project-management skills that the field requires.

The program boasts numerous globally recognized tenured and tenure-track faculty who participate in interdisciplinary research and development. Our faculty researchers focus on artificial intelligence and machine learning, computer vision, big data analytics, programming languages, computer security and cryptography, and software systems, providing our students with a wide variety of areas in which to conduct research and learn. Many of our researchers have received prestigious awards (including the NSF CAREER Award) and control several million dollars in active research funding.

A Stevens degree in computer science, cybersecurity, data science or machine learning empowers our graduates to be at the forefront of the current and next waves of innovation. We hope you’ll join us in shaping the future of technology.
