Start Term: Fall & Spring
Engage with the CS Research Community in one of our research groups:
On September 22, the Department of Computer Science welcomed approximately 40 PhD student scholars and faculty from the Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software Program (WASP), the largest individual research program in Sweden. Funded by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation, WASP brings together researchers from six leading Swedish universities, including KTH, Chalmers, and Lund, […]
Applied Machine Learning: Turning Algorithms Into Working Systems From recommendation systems to fraud detection and computer vision, applied machine learning (ML) powers many of today's most recognizable artificial intelligence (AI) applications. While understanding theory is important, designing effective machine learning solutions requires practical skills to develop, evaluate, and implement models in real-world environments. Machine learning […]
Responsible Innovation in AI: What Developers Need to Know Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming industries by enabling new products, services, and decision-making capabilities. One example is the partnership between Siemens and NVIDIA being used to simulate and reimagine operations for BMW, HD Hyundai, Maserati, and PepsiCo. Read on to explore how AI technology is most […]
What Makes Computer Science & Artificial Intelligence a Distinct Master's Degree These days, you wouldn't be hard-pressed to find a graduate-level computer science (CS) degree that offers a few electives on artificial intelligence (AI). After all, as AI becomes increasingly intertwined with computer science as a field, there's a growing need for CS professionals to […]
As AI has integrated itself into society, we have observed more cases of them performing surprisingly sophisticated tasks, such as (dis)proving long-standing mathematical conjectures—but also failing in big ways, such as always agreeing with users, even when the user intends to do something harmful. Can we understand how and why AI systems do things like […]
Career Spotlight: Software Engineer Working with AI-Driven Systems From smart assistants to predictive software, AI-driven systems are transforming technology. Leveraging artificial intelligence in software engineering connects AI capabilities with real-world applications to design, integrate, deploy, and maintain reliable software that turns advanced models into practical products people use every day. What Does a Software Engineer […]
With Principal Investigator Associate Professor Mayank Varia from BU's Faculty of Computing and Data Sciences, Assistant Professors Vasiliki Kalavri and John Liagouris have secured a $1.2M three-year NSF award to develop Open Privacy-preserving Analytics Lab (OPAL)—a platform designed to provide comprehensive data protection at rest, in transit, and, most crucially, during use. This collaboration is […]
On behalf of the University, the Department of Computer Science is sharing important information regarding a new U.S. policy affecting via holders, including international students and scholars, that will go into effect in September 15, 2026. Please read Boston University's announcement via BU Today. Boston University has scheduled virtual, University-wide town halls, and virtual webinars […]
