Overview
We train scientists to analyze big data and multisource datasets to solve these grand challenges, by bringing together the talents of faculty across several departments including the Departments of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Chemical and Biological Engineering, Computer Science and Engineering, Math, Physics, and Chemistry.
Program Requirements
The Computational and Data-Enabled Sciences programme from the University at Buffalo SUNY - School of Engineering and Applied Sciences requires a minimum of 72 credit hours. Additional requirements include passing qualifying exams and preparing your dissertation.
A Master's degree in a related field is required for admission to the PhD program. Some related fields of study include engineering, mathematics, physics, chemistry, marketing, business, and pharmacy.
Qualification Process
When you first start our program, you will select an advisor and your dissertation committee. Then, you will decide on a research topic and submit a short proposal that articulates your topic and its relationship to the computational and data sciences field. This technical report must be completed no later than the end of the second semester.
Programme Structure
Our curriculum is designed around three core subjects:
- Data Science
- Applied Mathematics and Numerical Methods
- High Performance and Data Intensive Computing
A minimum of 9 credits hours from the approved list of core classes must be taken in each area. The core course requirements total 30 credits, with a minimum GPA of 3.2 on a 4.0 scale. Courses taken during your Master's program may be transferred and used toward this requirement, with the approval of your dissertation committee and the Graduate Director. We strongly suggest you finish this course work within the first two years of the program.
