 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.
