Primary Purpose of Organizational Unit
Our department's guiding research principle is collaboration, as it has been since the department's founding in 1964. We believe that computer science's greatest impact lies in working with other scientists to solve problems in their respective disciplines. As such, we actively seek opportunities to initiate new research with colleagues across campus, including in the sciences, medicine, and the humanities. The Department of Computer Science is one of 16 science departments and curricula in the College of Arts and Sciences. It is a major research department with 40 tenured/tenure-track faculty, 9 teaching-track faculty, 12 research faculty, and 17 adjunct faculty, serving more than a thousand undergraduate students and hundreds of graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. Nearly 200 graduate students and eight non-faculty members assist with teaching and research activities. Additionally, 24 positions, including technical and administrative personnel, support the department's infrastructure. Many computer science faculty members hold adjunct or joint appointments in other departments, lead large interdisciplinary research groups, and collaborate with colleagues from other universities across the Research Triangle, the United States, and around the world.
