Study Level

Masters

Graduate student research in the Department of Computer Science spans the breadth of computing, from systems to human-computer interaction. Research in compilers and computer architecture focuses on increasing the efficiency of computations through more effective communications across the hardware/software boundary. A new parallel programming paradigm is being implemented in Unified Parallel C (UPC) to address issues in high-performance computing, allowing solutions to some of computing’s grand challenge problems such as weather forecasting and air pollution modeling. Research into security is focused on ensuring privacy. The University offers state-of-the-art research equipment that includes: an IBM Systems p5 dual 4-core system, multiple clusters with various types of interconnection networks, Apple and PC-based graphics systems, an visor-based augmented virtual realty system, a Pioneer 3 AT vision-equipped Mobile Robot, a mobile usability testing lab, a 32-processor HP SC-40, a 40-processor Cray T3E, a 12-processor Sun Enterprise 4500, and Internet2 access. Current Michigan Tech undergraduate students can earn a MS degree with just a single year of study beyond the BS through the Accelerated Master's Program.
