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 new Doctor of Philosophy in Computer and Cyber Sciences, 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.
Research areas of interest include foundations of distributed and parallel computing
(including modeling and algorithms), reliability, security and privacy of distributed
computing and network communication, High Performance Computing and distributed systems
and applications including blockchains and IoT.
Research areas of interest include system security across cloud, embedded and IoT
devices, crytography and quantum cryptography, and forensics security.
Research areas of interest include foundations of programming languages, interactive
theorem proving, categorical logic, reversible computing, program optimization, program
analysis and secure programming.
Research areas of interest for the Information Systems research group include risk-based
choices in technology use, human factors in cybersecurity, information disclosure,
text mining, information systems project management, strategy and governance.
Research areas of interest include intelligent cyber-physical control systems, data
extraction and analytics on the edge, embedded systems security and security and privacy
in IoT devices.
The School of Computer and Cyber Sciences believes that diverse teams develop more creative solutions together. We partner with other schools across Augusta University's campus, including the Medical College of Georgia, as well as other industry partners in various research endeavors in computing, information systems and security fields.
