Why pursue a PhD at Tufts?
We at Tufts CS have embraced the challenge of creating outstanding programs that emphasize both education and research across select areas of computing. Our research portfolio includes many exciting research projects including ones in Machine Learning, Systems and Programming Languages, Computational/Systems Biology, and Human-Centered computing.
What distinguishes Tufts CS from other programs?
Our research programs are highly interdisciplinary. Example applications include cataloging periodic stars in sky surveys, developing a robotic wheelchair that can be instructed through dialogue, predicting disease progression in multiple sclerosis patients, developing new in utero therapies to improve cognitive outcomes of fetuses with Down syndrome, and creating adaptive brain-computer interfaces using functional near-infrared spectroscopy. Our size facilitates a personalized experience both at the graduate and undergraduate levels. We have a new renovated building and beautiful research spaces. Our location is hip, right next to Davis Square in Somerville (America's Hippest city!) with easy access to all Boston attractions.
