    Thomas Sterling is a pioneer of super computing and is the creator of the Beowulf Cluster.

    These are just three of the most glaring examples. The quality of research coming out of my college (basic sciences) is outstanding.

    That being said, there is no PhD in computer science at Tech, so the level of research I was involved with there was not as high. However, the opportunities for undergraduates is the best I've ever seen.
    CAM program is doing a lot of really, really awesome stuff w/ Dr. Box and his supercomputing research right now.

    Probably. I can only speak for the programs that I know a lot about though.

Furthermore, the LSU Health Science Center (s) provide an unparalleled opportunity for medical students and other health professionals to research and treat rare cases while learning to perform under pressure with a unique patient population. Louisiana’s government should be a catalyst for growth in the research and development field, and we should double the state grant for biomedical research to attract and retain talent. By providing the necessary appropriations to Universities, grants to partnerships, and resources to private institutions, Louisiana can consistently provide the setting for quality research in the Southeast.
    Ok, based on this answer it does look like Georges is focusing a bit too much on education in SELA, and not all of LA.

    Ehhhh, they have a nicer facility and higher MS requirements.

    CAM isn't considered a CS PHD, so they have that as well.

    But yeah, absolutely loved all the options I had as a CS undergrad.

    Unfortunately, CompSci programs aren't judged by their undergrad programs and ULL does have a decent (not great) graduate school.

    Is the computer science program working with the nanotechnology research at Tech?

    ACAM just wasn't the program I was looking for. I looked at it and quickly decided UT-Austin or LSU. UT-Austin look like a go, but LSU was cheaper and gave me an assistantship. Plus UT-Austin didn't have the people I wanted to work with in my research area.

    daybreaker and I were there when Box first joined faculty. He started OSCAR and that was really neat. He may breath some CS life into that program.

    Same as ACAM. Neat CS stuff going on, but not in the CS department. Maybe I'm splitting hairs, but with the excception of Dr. Box's work, the computer science involved in these programs is sometimes more application based, which is not purely computer science. Would you agree luminaire?

    Wow, what a weird subject to hijack a thread with.

    I hope Tech can look into research related to quantum computing, since it has a strong nano/micro research center.

    Dr. Box is cool. I still think Tech needs a CS Phd program though. Especially with the thing at Barksdale thats coming, and CenIT (is that still around?)... A CS PhD program would bring in a lot of grants and exciting Hi-Tech projects that you just dont get from undergrads and masters programs.

    As a student, we had a project focusing on Augmented Reality and wearable computers... duckbillplatty's group was able to get a fairly decent campus virtual tour put together, but imagine if these were PhD students, given longer than 2 months, and without non-CS classes getting in the way, combined with a huge grant? Tech could have been producing some awesome AR apps (an example of AR is the super-imposed first down line on football games). Thats just one tinyy example. PhD programs bring plenty of exciting new and innovative projects.

    But Tech has always kind of shoved CS aside to focus on all the other engineering disciplines. If CS could get enough money and professors to institute a PhD program, you would see some exciting stuff.

    Yep. "make these computers do this nano stuff", or "make these computers do this modeling stuff".
