Department Head Message
Computer science changes and shapes our world. It pervades every facet of modern society. Organizations large and
small, private and public, from virtually all sectors of society from agriculture, health care, education, and
transportation, to entertainment, defense, finance, manufacturing, and telecommunications, are all critically
dependent on the field of computer science. Computer science is both an excellent source of good jobs and a
powerful way to change the world. Here at UIC, we have built a high-quality department with diverse educational
and research opportunities for our students. Our interests and expertise span the broad field of computer science.
Admissions to our BS, MS, and PhD programs are highly competitive. Our high-caliber students are served by an
innovative curriculum, advanced computing laboratories, and an energetic and knowledgeable faculty.
The combined expertise of our thirty-four faculty members is extraordinary. Fourteen hold chief editorial positions
or sit on boards of professional journals, an extraordinary five are recipients of UIC¡¯s top teaching excellence award,
and, perhaps most notably, eleven have received prestigious National Science Foundation CAREER awards. Our
student body and our faculty are growing; seven new faculty members were hired in the past couple of years and we
are in the process of hiring more. Additionally, our faculty is augmented by adjunct faculty appointments from
other UIC departments including Bioengineering; Electrical and Computer Engineering; Mathematics, Computer
Science and Statistics; and Mechanical and Industrial Engineering.
We see the value in fostering relationships with industry and actively procuring state and federal agency grants. As a
result, our department is one of the leading research units at UIC, with annual research funding exceeding $8
million.
We emphasize both the discovery of core computer science knowledge in areas such as theory, artificial intelligence,
databases, computer security, and software engineering, and the application of computer science to areas such as
bioinformatics, gaming, learning environments, manufacturing, and transportation systems.
We also actively engage in interdisciplinary, multi-institutional collaboration. For example, we conduct
interdisciplinary research in computer graphics, human/computer interfaces, and advanced networking to create
globally-connected visualization display hardware and software that enables collaboration among remote teams of
scientists, engineers, industrial designers, and artists¡ªpositioning UIC as a leading university worldwide in highperformance computing research and education.
We are proud to be a resource for the surrounding business and academic community, but most importantly, we
serve the students who come to UIC seeking a quality education and access to advanced computing resources. Our
academic programs are designed to prepare students for successful careers in a rapidly evolving discipline.
We invite you to explore all the Department of Computer Science has to offer.

Professor and Head
