Overview

See more information on the Harvard Graduate School of Arts and Sciences website here: https://gsas.harvard.edu/program/computer-science Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Computer Science at the Harvard Graduate School of Arts and Sciences teaches both the fundamentals of computation and computation’s interaction with the world. In the Computer Science program, students learn both the fundamentals of computation and computation’s interaction with the world. Their work involves a wide range of areas including theoretical computer science, artificial intelligence and machine learning, economics and computer science, privacy and security, data-management systems, intelligent interfaces, operating systems, computer graphics, computational linguistics, robotics, networks, architectures, program languages, and visualization. Students are involved with researchers in several interdisciplinary initiatives across the University, such as the Center for Research on Computation and Society, the Institute for Applied Computational Science, the Data Science Initiative, and the Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society. Examples of projects current and past students have worked on include leveraging machine learning to solve real-world sequential decision-making problems and using artificial intelligence to help conservation and anti-poaching efforts around the world. Graduates of the program have gone on to a range of careers in industry in companies like Riot Games as game directors and lead scientists at Raytheon. Others have positions in academia at University of Pittsburgh, Columbia, and Stony Brook.
