Welcome to the Computer Science Department

In the fall of 2006 and 2007 CoreWall, interactive visualization software for the analysis of sediment cores developed by the Electronic Visualization Laboratory, was deployed and used by scientists in Antarctica as part of the NSF funded ANDRILL program.

Welcome to the Department of Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Chicago.

In the span of just a few decades, computer science-based systems, principles and techniques have pervaded modern society. People from all sectors depend on critical applications developed in our field. Examples range from telecommunications, manufacturing, defense, education and finance, to agriculture, healthcare, transportation and entertainment. We are committed to preparing our graduates to meet tomorrow’s challenges with diverse educational and research opportunities.

These pages are designed to help prospective students and faculty obtain more information about our department, and to serve as a research entry point for colleagues around the world.
