Founded in 1997, Dalhousie University's Faculty of Computer Science is the premier research institution for information technology in Atlantic Canada.
Our faculty is organized into research "clusters" instead of departments, with most teaching, learning, and researching falling into one of the following six categories:
(1) Artificial Intelligence, Big Data Analytics & Machine Learning
(2) Software Systems
(3) Algorithms & Bioinformatics
(4) Human-Computer Interaction
(5) Visualization & Graphics
(6) Computer Science Education.
You can read more about each of the research clusters here and discover our faculty members' newest research here.
Location
Our faculty is growing! Currently, we are spread out over three buildings on Dalhousie's Studley campus, with our headquarters at the Goldberg Computer Science Building on the corner of University Ave. and Henry St. We also have offices and labs in the Mona Campbell and Paramount Buildings.
#WeAreAllCS
Research clearly indicates that gender, racial and skill diversity simply produces better outcomes - better technology products, services and organizations.
From increasing the number of women in tech to empowering students from different socio-economic backgrounds, our mission is to attract and support the diverse technology talent of tomorrow.
