Research

Collaboration at Work 

In line with Augusta University's mission to become a top-tier research institution, School of Computer and Cyber Sciences faculty members are conducting research to stay one step ahead of today's ever-changing, technology-driven society. With half of our faculty pursuing research, this provides excellent experience for undergraduates to apply their knowledge from the classroom to create solutions in each of our research faculty's research focuses. With the growth and development of graduate level degree programs, including the Master of Science in Computer Science thesis track, research activities will become a requirement for School of Computer and Cyber Sciences graduate students. The Computer Science Colloquium Series, held on Fridays online this fall, offers students an opportunity to learn about cutting-edge research subjects in the areas of Computer Science, Information Technology and Cybersecurity.

School of Computer and Cyber Sciences faculty members are in pursuit of cutting-edge research topics in fields such as distributed computing, internet of things (IoT), and medical device security. Learn more about our faculty's research:
