The Department
ETH has a long-running and successful history of designing computer systems and developing software tools. Out of this success, the Department of Computer Science was formed in 1981.
Since then, the department has quickly grown and developed into the renowned institution it is today. Currently, more than 30 professors from over 10 countries are active at the Department of Computer Science. More than 220 PhD students and research assistants and over 60 postdocs and senior scientists contribute to maintaining the high standards in research and teaching for which the department is known worldwide. More than 1400 students (almost 1000 in the Bachelor program and over 400 in the Master program) benefit from this directly, leading many to go on to innovative careers in research, education and industry.
In research and education, the department covers a broad spectrum of themes with focuses on:
- Data Management and Machine Learning
- Information and System Security
- Networked Systems and Parallel Computing
- Pervasive Computing and Cyberphysical Systems
- Programming Languages and Software Engineering
- Theory and Algorithms
- Visual Computing
While maintaining its longstanding, traditional ties to electrical engineering and mathematics, the department has increasingly collaborated with other disciplines including physics, mechanical engineering, and the life sciences. The true importance of computer science is best appreciated through such collaborations.
Strong links between the department and a wide range of industries and businesses help foster a mutually beneficial atmosphere of academic rigor and practical relevance. In particular, the department maintains long-term research collaborations with global high-tech players such as IBM, Microsoft, Google, SAP, and Disney.
