Investigations in these fields generally follow one or more key phases:

(i) pinpointing a compelling research question,
(ii) classifying the problem based on its computational complexity, and
(iii) developing effective algorithmic solutions.

The objective focuses on creating algorithms with specific efficiency benchmarks, ranging from polynomial-time exact methods to enhanced exponential approaches, approximation techniques, and probabilistically guaranteed solutions. Frequently, deep theoretical insights into a problem's framework prove crucial for algorithm development. When facing inherently challenging problems, researchers aim to delineate the dividing line between tractable special cases and intractable general scenarios.

Our program provides instructional courses and research projects across diverse domains such as Artificial Intelligence, Database Management, Interactive Gaming, Machine Learning, Robotic Systems, Software Development, Human-Machine Interfaces, Computational Biology, Network Communications, Algorithm Design, Visual Computing, Image Processing, System Software, User Experience Design, Network Infrastructure, and Digital Media Technologies.

Qualification Requirements

Applicants for the Ph.D. in Computing Science must have an M.Sc. degree in Computing Science or a related field. Deficiencies must be addressed by taking appropriate undergraduate courses. A 3.0 GPA is typically the minimum GPA for acceptance in an MSc or PhD program. However, we may consider slightly lower GPAs in exceptional circumstances or due to small discrepancies in international GPA conversion rates. Meeting the 3.0 GPA minimum requirement does not guarantee admission. Our department admissions process is highly competitive and the Admissions Committee often selects students with a 3.5 GPA or higher. Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL iBT, in-person or special at-home edition) - A minimum TOEFL score of 100 with a minimum score of 21 on each of the individual skill areas (internet-based), or equivalent. Academic International English Language Testing System (IELTS - Academic) - A minimum overall band score of 7.0 with a minimum score of 6.5 on each band.
