Research is more than a job for our faculty — it’s a desire to improve the world. At the UCF Department of Computer Science, our faculty strive to push the boundaries of innovative technologies such as virtual reality and augmented reality, image and video processing, machine learning and artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and data systems. Our reputation in research is strong and has led to the creation of several research centers and institutes that are housed within the department. Our faculty also manage their own laboratories where new discoveries are made every day. Explore them all below.
