WHY WFU? THE STUDENT EXPERIENCE Faculty-Student Engagement The Humanitech Stem Initiative LEARN MORE The Department prides itself on engaging undergraduate and graduate students in and out of the classroom, providing opportunities for students to work closely with faculty members in their scholarship and research. Existing programs in the Department are in the areas of network security, digital sound and music, computing for persons with disabilities, imaging, mobile computing, computational mathematics, computational biophysics, bioinformatics, HPC education, databases/big data, and GPU computing. These areas represent not only research in the Department, but also interdisciplinary collaboration in and out of the sciences in other departments. Undergraduate students routinely engage our faculty in these research areas, and the students often receive summer research fellowships from the University for full-time summer research work. "The Computer Science Department at Wake Forest is an intimate community allowing deep engagement between students and faculty. We are dedicated to making use of innovative approaches to teaching and learning, performing impactful research, and providing meaningful service opportunities." Dr. William Turkett, Department Chair "... I have run my code on one of the largest super computers in the world, traveled to India, Austria, and Japan to present my research and published articles in peer-reviewed scientific journals and conferences. Without the mentorship and opportunities I found at WFU CS none of this would have been possible."
