Cutting Edge Research

DU’s professors stand at the forefront of those conducting research in some of the most important computer science fields. Did you ever wonder just how video and audio media streams reach your iPhone? In part, it results from work done at DU. Have you heard of SETI, the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence? It involves the use of thousands of distributed computers working together to process data from radio telescopes, and some of the software linking them together was pioneered at DU. We now take it pretty much for granted that our cell phones will seamlessly transmit and receive calls, even when we’re driving, or far from our home base. Again, DU professors have contributed work on the multi-dimensional and spatio-temporal database structures that make it all happen. And DU is also actively involved in creating solutions for the high-stake, high-tech threats to our cyber-security. The work is fascinating and will set you an a course to a great career – and you can do it at DU’s Department of Computer Science.
