PhD in Computer Science - Multimedia Computing in Irvine United States | University of California Irvine

Computer Science encompasses both theoretical and practical aspects of design, analysis, and implementation of computer systems, as well as applications of computing to numerous other fields. Core research areas include: (1) artificial intelligence and machine learning, (2) bioinformatics, (3) computer architecture, (4) embedded systems, (5) graphics and computer vision, (6) database systems and information management, (7) multimedia and gaming, (8) networks and distributed systems, (9) programming languages and compilers, (10) security, privacy, and cryptography, (11) design and analysis of algorithms, and (12) scientific computing.

Multimedia computing started receiving attention more than a decade ago. Naturally, early systems dealt with very limited aspect of multimedia. With progress in technology, several computing addresses important issues in creation, communication, storage, access, and presentation of information and experiences. In our department, we are addressing research issues in fundamentals of multimedia systems and their advanced applications.
