Welcome to the Department of Computer Science at the University at Albany! Our first-rate programs attract students and faculty from across the globe, who together comprise a rich and vibrant community of scholars making their mark in the ever-evolving high tech computer industry. While mastering computer science theory and practice, students also have the opportunity to work with world-class faculty on cutting-edge research. Our Department is part of a Tier 1 research university located in the heart of Tech Valley in New York, affording our students the opportunity to engage in exciting internships. We invite you to explore our programs, research, and ask questions.
In July of this year, the University at Albany named biomedical engineer Michele J. Grimm as dean of UAlbany's College of Engineering and Applied Sciences (CEAS) after a national search. Dean Grimm offers insights on what lies in store for the future at CEAS.
CTG UAlbany’s new faculty fellows program is designed to serve as a platform of intellectual exchange and an appreciation for interdisciplinary scholarship. CTG UAlbany, which works with governments worldwide transforming public services through innovations in technology, policy and management, has maintained a roster of research fellows since its founding nearly 30 years ago.
After a more than yearlong review, the University at Albany’s College of Engineering and Applied Sciences (CEAS) has secured ABET accreditation for its bachelor of science degrees in computer science and electrical & computer engineering.
With the goal of becoming the first university-based computer to reach a quintillion computations per second, Albany AI will empower university and industry researchers to harness massive data sets to better understand how to automate complex operations, and create teaching and research collaborations with faculty in all disciplines.
The University at Albany today began a new era of teaching and research with the launch of Albany AI, a $200 million public-private supercomputing initiative based out of UAlbany’s soon-to-be-renovated College of Engineering and Applied Sciences building. Buoyed by $75 million in state funding to complete the transformation of the former Albany High School into a state-of-the-art engineering college and fund the construction of a supercomputer, the Albany Artificial Intelligence Supercomputing Initiative (Albany AI) will significantly expand New York’s capacity in this major emerging field.
