Department of Computer Science
The Department of Computer Science at Ashoka University fosters a research-driven approach to both foundational and applied areas of computing. Its unique positioning within a liberal arts environment provides a distinctive opportunity to advance core computer science research while also exploring interdisciplinary applications across the natural and social sciences. Our department values the cross-pollination of ideas from diverse fields, not only to solve existing problems but to ask novel research questions that deepen and expand the scope of computer science. Through this integration of foundational knowledge and interdisciplinary engagement, Ashoka’s CS department contributes meaningfully to both the theoretical and societal dimensions of the field.
