In Focus: Department of Computer Science
The unique positioning of Ashoka University's Computer Science department in a liberal arts
environment in India engenders opportunities to apply computational thinking to the sciences
and the social sciences, as well as take advantage of the cross-pollination of ideas from other
disciplines to generate and define problems in CS. We are actively doing impactful research
towards disciplinary questions in CS as well as bringing CS methods into the natural and social
sciences.
In particular, the department is actively engaged in digitisation and data questions in health,
education and welfare; cryptography, privacy and security; data science and AI for the public
good; epidemiology and modelling; molecular and systems biology; quantum computing;
psychology; environment; elections and politics. The department has ambitious plans to develop
exciting multidisciplinary CS+X programmes, both for research and teaching.
