Research in communication networks examines how data is transmitted across both wired and wireless systems. Key areas of study involve (a) evaluating and enhancing current network infrastructures, (b) creating advanced protocols, experimental platforms, and simulation tools, and (c) innovating network designs. With the growing prevalence of wireless technology, our work often centers on ad hoc and wireless sensor network applications.
Our program provides educational and research pathways across diverse fields such as Artificial Intelligence, Database Systems, Computer Gaming, Machine Learning, Robotics, Software Engineering, Human-Machine Interfaces, Bioinformatics, Network Communications, Algorithm Development, Computer Graphics, Visual Computing, Software Systems, Human-Computer Interaction, Internet Technologies, and Multimedia.

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.
