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.
