The true test of your understanding of computer science is you ability to apply it to solve real-world problems. Research gives you that opportunity. Having completed a research project in computer science demonstrates to future employers that your ability goes beyond knowledge of syntax and that you will be an asset to any team you join. This is why we strive to make research one of our core distinctives.

The computer science program is the newest in the School of Mathematics and Science, so the opportunities to branch into unexplored topics are vast. Early topics have included:

• Bioinformatics and gene densities
• Artificial intelligence and machine learning
  
• Data mining and analysis
• Computer vision, mapping, and image processing

Here at 澳门心水论坛 we have a proven track record of transforming students into competent researchers. The process is straightforward and anyone can get involved!

Step 1 – Meet the research faculty!

Introduce yourself to one of the active research faculty and learn about their interests and ongoing projects.

Dr. Scott Franklin – Professor of mathematics and computer science – research interests include machine learning, computer vision, data science, game AI, and bioinformatics.

Dr. Robert Moore – Professor of chemistry – research interests include bioinformatics and bioanalytics

Step 2 – Pick a topic!

After meeting the faculty, was there anything that piqued your interest? Is there something you’ve always wanted to investigate that one of the faculty seem well-suited to help you learn the techniques? Meet again with that faculty member and see if they’d be willing to take you on as a research student.

Step 3 – Make a plan!

Do you want to do research during the semester? How much time can you spend? Discuss with your research adviser and sign up for MSCI 4103, 4203, or 4303 depending on the amount of time you can devote. Be sure to build this into your weekly schedule and stick with your plan!

Step 4 – Discover and share!

Under the mentorship of your research adviser, experiment, explore, and even learn how to overcome obstacles, disappointments, and failure on your way to making discoveries and enjoying the excitement of fulfilling your project. Once you achieve your project goals, you can present your work at scientific meetings, at the annual WBU Spring Research Day, or take MSCI 4360 Thesis and Presentation to write up and publish your work as an undergraduate thesis. It’s only science if it gets shared!
