Computer Science and Engineering
As we enjoy increased interconnectivity through our devices, computer scientists and engineers are playing a bigger part in shaping the world.
Martín Farach-Colton
Martín Farach-Colton is an internationally recognized computer scientist whose research spans big data algorithmics, storage systems, data structures, and streaming algorithms. His work focuses on developing faster, more efficient ways to store, access, and process massive amounts of data, with applications across modern computing systems. Farach-Colton brings deep experience bridging fundamental research and real-world technology: he was an early senior research scientist at Google and founded data-storage company TokuTek, which was acquired in 2015. His contributions to computer science have earned him multiple distinguished fellowships and test-of-time paper awards.
We are rapidly approaching an era in which doctors can use sophisticated computer tools to operate from remote locations on patients, cars sharing a road communicate in order to avoid accidents, and hundreds of millions of illiterate adults around the globe have access to needed educational materials.
If you want to be a part of all that, Computer Science and Engineering might be the course of study for you. Whether you want to protect vital data from malicious hackers by studying cyber security, harness the power of Big Data to improve the world, or create game-changing methods of game development and design, NYU Tandon has a program that fits.
