>Foundation, Department of Education, Department of Defense and the 
>Department of Energy. Our annual research funding has grown to over $4 million.

>Our department is recruiting outstanding graduate students to our 
>Ph.D. program in all areas of Computer Science, particularly with an 
>emphasis on visualization, knowledge discovery, data mining, 
>computer vision, robotics, sensor networks, and computer games. Our 
>Ph.D. program is heavily research oriented, and students are 
>admitted to research groups to get them involved in research from 
>their first day here. We are actively looking for graduate students 
>with a strong academic record and a demonstrated potential for research.

>We would like your support in encouraging your very best students to
