ic, molecular engineering, and machine learning, to mention just a few.

The Department of Computer Science (cs. uchicago.edu) is the hub of a large, diverse computing community of two hundred researchers focused on advancing foundations of computing and driving its most advanced applications. Long distinguished in theoretical computer science and artificial intelligence, the Department is now building a strong Systems research group. This closely-knit community includes the Computation Institute, the Toyota Technological Institute, and Argonne’s Mathematics and Computer Science Division.

The Chicago metropolitan area provides a diverse and exciting environment. The local economy is vigorous, with international stature in banking, trade, commerce, manufacturing, and transportation, while the cultural scene includes diverse cultures, vibrant theater, world-renowned symphony, opera, jazz, and blues. The University is located in Hyde Park, a Chicago neighborhood on the Lake Michigan shore just a few minutes from downtown on an electric commuter train.
