Computer Science Program

CS

Computer Science

The Computer Science (CS) program trains students to create computational infrastructure and apply computational methods to a variety of areas. CS offers six tracks, each of which leads to a frontier of computing: Artificial Intelligence, Computer Systems, High Performance Computing, Theoretical Computer Science, Visual Computing, and Computational Biosciences.

Xingdi Zhang
The greatest test of courage on earth is to bear defeat without losing heart.
Xingdi Zhang, MS/PhD, Computer Science
KAUST CEMSE CS RC3 Paulo Esteve-Verissimo
I firmly believe that Resilient Computing in general will be a game changer in the craft of designing computer systems of today and future. Having been part of one of the teams that pioneered intrusion tolerance and resilient computing, I am absolutely convinced of the power of this paradigm. The threat surface presented to computer and network systems became too uncertain, dynamic and polymorphic to be addressed in a static way by aprioristic design techniques, and/or by isolated disciplines such as security or dependability. Teams, organisations, companies, nation-states mastering this paradigm will be at the forefront of cyberspace technology. As such, it will be at the centre of my vision and the inspiration for the research I propose to foster in RC3@KAUST.
