Department of Computer Science
The unique positioning of our department in a liberal arts environment in India engenders opportunities to apply computational thinking to the sciences and the social sciences, as well as take advantage of the cross-pollination of ideas from other disciplines to generate and define problems in CS.
We are actively doing impactful research towards disciplinary questions in CS as well as bringing CS methods into the natural and social sciences.
In particular, the department is actively engaged in digitisation and data questions in health, education and welfare; cryptography, privacy and security; data science and AI for public good; epidemiology and modelling; molecular and systems biology; quantum computing; psychology; environment; elections and politics.
The department has ambitious plans to develop exciting multidisciplinary CS+X programmes, both for research and teaching.
