The Networking Group in the Department of Computer Science of the University of
Texas at Dallas (UTD) is seeking highly motivated students for its graduate
programs. The department admits Ph.D and M.S. students in both Fall and Spring
semesters. Some Ph.D. and M.S. positions are still open for Fall 2013. The CS
department (cs.utdallas.edu) offers four graduate degree programs in Computer
Science (CS), Software Engineering (SE), Computer Engineering (CE) and
Telecommunications Engineering (TE); the last two in collaboration with the
Department of Electrical Engineering. All degree programs offer both MS and
Ph.D. Degrees. The CS department currently includes 45 tenure-track faculty, 15
lecturers, 125 Ph.D. students, over 700 masters students and more than 750
undergraduate students. CS faculty at UTD maintain a very active research
program, with more than $9 million in research expenditures in 2010 and more
than $22 million in new funding received since 2011.
Research in the department is focused on five broad areas: computer networking,
systems and security, software engineering, intelligent systems and theoretical
computer science. Our distinguished faculty and their PhD students publish
their research in top journals and present their results at leading
conferences. Our faculty are also active as program and conference chairs and
as journal editors and editorial board members. Our faculty and students have
created a number of software systems, and include nine NSF CAREER Award winners
and two Air Force Young Investigator Award winners.
Faculty members conduct networking research at all levels of the protocol stack
for wired and wireless networks. There are ongoing research projects on network
design, analysis methods and algorithms; scheduling; network fault tolerance;
network security; distributed algorithms and protocol design; multimedia
streaming; Quality of Service (QoS); network and service monitoring; Internet
measurements; survivable multi-domain optical networks; impairment-aware
optical networks; coexistence of wireless networks; wireless sensor networks
and their applications to medical instrumentation; cognitive radio networks;
wireless mesh networks; mobility support in licensed and unlicensed frequency
bands; smart grid; Internet of things. In addition to various research
laboratories there is a dedicated teaching laboratory dedicated to networking.
Highly regarded for their deep technical knowledge, our graduates are sought
after by major software and telecom companies such as Google, Amazon,
Microsoft, Qualcomm, Cisco, Intel, Ericsson, Alcatel-Lucent, VMware and RIM.
Our PhD graduates are well-prepared to take on research and teaching positions.
We are located in the middle of the Dallas area's high-tech hub, surrounded by
hundreds of software, hardware and telecom companies. Not only do these
companies hire our students in large numbers as interns (more than 400 last
year) and full-time employees (90 percent of our graduates had found positions
by graduation last year), but they work with our faculty and students on joint
research projects too. We have also taken steps to encourage entrepreneurship
among our students by introducing entrepreneurship education into our programs.
And many of our graduates have founded successful companies.
The Networking Group in the Department of Computer Science at UTD is very
interested in recruiting top quality students to our MS and Ph.D. programs. All
applicants who are admitted to our Ph.D. program will be considered for
graduate teaching or graduate research assistantships (GTA or GRA), with
support expected to continue subject to satisfactory progress. We expect our
Ph.D. students to work at the cutting-edge of research and strive for
excellence. Kindly disseminate this among students who wish to pursue a
graduate degree in our department.
