The department is committed to excellence in scholarly activities and research; interdepartmental and interuniversity collaborative projects are particularly emphasized. Key research areas include programming languages, high assurance software, distributed and embedded systems, cybersecurity, computation science, bioinformatics, databases, software engineering, agent-oriented software systems, and robotics.

Computational Science and Informatics research in the department involves the application of artificial intelligence heuristics, algorithms, data structures, and database concepts and processes to specific domains. For example, in bioinformatics the study of how biological data is stored, retrieved, and analyzed to solve a specific biological research problem, computer scientists use data mining techniques and algorithms to find patterns in biological data that enable scientists to derive structure and relate structure to the function of a specific gene. Research is being performed by several interdisciplinary teams of domain specialists and informatics exports from Computer Science.
