Computer Science faculty come from OHSU
Ten tenure-track faculty, their 20 doctoral students, and $2 million in annual research expenditures have moved to the PSU Maseeh College of Engineering and Computer Science from Oregon Health & Science University’s OGI School of Science & Engineering. The change allows each institution to concentrate on its own unique areas within computer science.
The Oregonian called the change “inter-institutional cooperation” and an “act of flexibility and productivity” in an editorial after the September 17 announcement.
Under this arrangement, nationally recognized OGI computer science programs in networking and systems, programming languages and formal methods, and databases will transition to PSU’s Maseeh College, where they will be consolidated within the existing computer science research and education programs, which include research clusters in the area of software engineering, theory and algorithms, learning systems, high performance computing, and computer security.
The shift at OGI will accelerate its computer science and engineering research focus into issues of human and ecosystem health.
Increasing the number of computer science faculty and students, as well as funded research, moves the Maseeh College closer to its goal of creating a nationally ranked computer science program, says Robert Dryden, dean of the college.
The new faculty join a program that serves 450 undergraduate and 120 graduate students.
