Research
Our faculty members conduct research in the areas of algorithms, graph theory, symbolic computation, computational algebra, reliable computing, quantum information processing, pattern recognition, photonics, chaos theory, and laser optics. They actively publish research papers in recognized journals and international conference proceedings.
Contact individual faculty members if you are interested in research or supervision opportunities. Please note, permission of the department to be registered in a directed study/research course must be requested at a minimum of one month previous to the start of term.
Need Access to a Building?
If you're a graduate student, research assistant, doing a thesis, or otherwise need access to Science buildings outside regular hours, fill out the Building Access Request Form for the Department of Physics and Computer Science. It's your responsibility to read University Policies regarding health, safety and security.
