Department of Computer Science (COS)
Faculty Research Interests
Suad Alagic
Professor of Computer Science.
Research Areas: Object-Oriented Systems, Database Systems,
Programming Languages and Systems. Ph.D., Department of Computer
and Information Science, University of
Massachusetts at Amherst.
Bob Boothe
Associate Professor of Computer Science, is currently
working on building a highly supportive development environment for
student algorithmic programming assignments that provides automatic
testing and evaluation as well as high quality visualizations.
Past research involved designing and building a bidirectional
debugger for C, and work on parallel computer architectures. He
received his B.S. in Computer Engineering from U.C. San Diego, and
his M.S. and Ph.D. in Computer Science from U.C. Berkeley.
David Briggs
Clare Bates Congdon
Assistant Professor of Computer Science.
Her research interests
include machine learning, classification and data mining,
evolutionary algorithms, and applications of these to biological
data; she also works with interactive art, robotic and virtual
agents, and learning control knowledge. (More info online here.)
She received her B.A. in Mathematics from
Wesleyan University and her M.S. and Ph.D. in Computer Science and
Engineering from the University of Michigan.
Bruce MacLeod
Associate Professor of Computer Science.
Research interests include the development of health information
systems in developing countries. In addition, recent work has
focused on the collection and display of spatial information. Two
decades of experience in developing appropriate software technology
for health research in the developing world and in making complex
software systems accessible to health researchers who are
non-computer scientists. Designed and developed DEEDS, a UNICEF
project to maintain health information data on children
worldwide. Designed and developed HRS (Household Registration
System), a software system for health research centers in
developing countries that enables data entry, reporting, and
analysis of longitudinal, community-based, health data. This system
is the software standard for INDEPTH network of health research
centers (www.indepth-network.org). Spatial information systems work
includes the development of a Web Based mapping and data delivery
system for fisheries data in the Gulf of Maine. This work is part
of the international census of marine life effort.
Charles Welty (chair)
Professor of Computer Science. Interests mainly in
usability of software systems. BS and MS in Electrical Engineering
from Univ. of Calif., Berkeley. MS and PhD in Computer Science from
Univ. of Mass., Amherst.
