The department continues to advance the computer science industry through research. Graduates of the program are able to solve complex and challenging problems in many fields. The increasing centrality of computer science in academic disciplines and society, and new research activities - centered around data science, artificial intelligence, programming languages, theoretical computer science, machine learning, and cybersecurity - are the future focus of the department. Undergraduate Graduate Hiring Future Students Research Purdue Computes As student interest in computing-related majors and the societal impact of artificial intelligence and chips continue to rise rapidly, Purdue has launched a new major initiative, Purdue Computes, consisting of four dimensions that will connect faculty and students from across the institution and enable the university to advance to the forefront with unparalleled excellence at scale. STORIES CELEBRATING 60 PURDUE COMPUTES OUR HISTORY CELEBRATIONS OF THE 60TH News Awards and Scholarships in the Department of Computer Science Honoring members of the Department of Computer Science who have received fellowships, awards, and scholarships. More than machines: Computer scientist prepares robots to improve human lives There is no avoiding robots. With increasing autonomy, satellites span the skies, vacuums vroom underfoot and bots conduct surgery, deliver packages and explore the solar system. Robot expert Sooyeon Jeong, an assistant professor of computer science, works in artificial intelligence to ensure that those robots are more friendly helpers to humans and less inscrutable interlopers, more R2-D2 than HAL, more Baymax than Terminator. Pathfinder unveils novel attacks on cybersecurity Assistant Professors Kazem Taram and Christina Garman are part of a team of researchers who have found two novel types of attacks that target the conditional branch predictor found in high-end Intel processors, which could be exploited to compromise billions of processors currently in use. Defense award launches Purdue project to strengthen cyber-physical systems Hiccups and failures of consumer cyber-physical systems like smart gadgets and appliances are inconvenient and annoying. But in mission-critical applications for the Department of Defense, any system weakness or flaw could have serious consequences, such as disruption, damage or even loss of life. Dongyan Xu, the Samuel Conte Professor of Computer Science and director of CERIAS is the principal investigator of the project.
