Department of Computer Science and Engineering

Faculty and students in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering are advancing the theories, principles and applications of computing to design computers, software, networks and processes. Our academic programs provide a foundation in one of the fastest growing fields in the world, and the faculty members engaged in research at UofSC ensure that we remain at the forefront of computing.

Department Highlights

Research Spotlight: Artificial intelligence goes further than ever before

Through a grant from NASA, Pooyan Jamshidi will use machine learning to prepare spacecraft to repair and adapt themselves in the event of “unknown unknowns” so that they can better cope with uncertainties in the outer space environment.

Faculty Spotlight: Sheth receives lifetime award in services computing

The award adds to Sheth’s long list of professional accolades. And while his research currently focuses much more on artificial intelligence than services computing, the effects of his past work still endure.

Undergraduate Student Spotlight: Veterans bring strong work ethic, new perspectives to UofSC community

Military-affiliated students play an important role at the University of South Carolina. Veterans and active duty Gamecocks excel in the classroom and beyond, including alumni like Scott Craig, a Purple Heart recipient, who will earn his degree in computer science.

Graduate Student Spotlight: AI Institute sends three students to national women’s cohort

The workshop will provide the opportunity to network with and learn from 20 senior female researchers and professionals in the field of computing.

Alumni Spotlight: Computer Science Alumna creates one of TIME's "Best Inventions of 2020"

Laura Boccanfuso, a computer science doctoral grad, founded Van Robotics. Now, their tutoring robot ABii was just named one of the Top 100 Inventions of 2020 by TIME Magazine.
