Faculty

Georgetown's Department of Computer Science consists of seven regular faculty working in the areas of algorithms, artificial intelligence, bioinformatics, database systems, data mining, information assurance, machine learning, and non-standard parallel computing.

Three adjunct faculty complement the regular faculty. Matthew Devost's expertise is in cyberterrorism, information warfare, and network security. Kevin Forbes is a graduate of Georgetown and of Johns Hopkins. He works as a Software Engineer at the MITRE Corporation. Arnie Miles specializes in grid, high-performance, and high-throughput computing.

Staff

The Department's staff help keep the department running for both faculty and students. John Adams is the Department's administrative assistant. Woonki Chung is our system administrator.

Students

There are approximately 50–60 undergraduate students pursuing BS and BA degrees in computer science. Georgetown admits about 15–20 undergraduates per year who declare computer science as their intended major. Numerous students from other schools and departments take courses in the department for enrichment, to satisfy their science requirement, or to complete the requirements for a minor in computer science.

Our students pursue internships and study abroad, but they also fill important roles in the department. Some work with faculty on research projects. Many help faculty and their fellow students by serving as teaching assistants. Others help with system administration and Web development.
