Department of Computer Science Research

The faculty of the Department of Computer Science engages students to conduct cutting-edge and impactful research in various areas of computer science.

Our faculty has been awarded numerous grants from prominent research agencies, such as the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Office of Naval Research (ONR), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the Department of Homeland Security, and others. The Department of Computer Science is home to various centers and laboratories, including a National Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education and National Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Research (CAE-R) in its Center for the Advancement of Secure Systems and Information Assurance (CASSIA).

Located in Hoboken, New Jersey, the department is on the Hudson River across from midtown Manhattan, just a stone's throw away from New York City and Manhattan. Our location offers excellent opportunities for collaborations with nearby universities such as NYU, Princeton, Columbia, and Rutgers/DIMACS as well as major industrial research laboratories such as Bell Labs, AT&T Labs, IBM Research, and the New York offices of Google, Amazon, and Facebook.

Cybersecurity researchers in the Department of Computer Science are some of the world's foremost experts in information security.
