Corporate Interactions

CIS faculty member


From bioinformatics to artificial intelligence, network security to high-performance computing, human-computer interaction to computer vision, CIS offers a broad range of collaborative research possibilities for corporate partners. We tailor corporate relationships to be mutually beneficial: a wide variety of options includes unrestricted gifts, research grants, matching funds for proposals, and graduate student fellowships. Corporate residencies on campus provide opportunities for close collaboration.

CIS is the broadest college-level computing and information unit at a comprehensive major research university and therefore provides excellent recruiting opportunities for students skilled in core computer science and information science and in the intersections of these and other disciplines, such as the physical sciences, digital arts, and engineering. There are more than 200 graduating majors each year, as well as 100 Masters of Engineering students. Bits on our Minds (BOOM) provides an annual showcase of student technology projects.
