Points worth noting include a local Google research/dev. office (does Chrome's V8), and the "birth university" of Bjarne Stroustrup of C++ fame.
The department has research groups in the following areas:
Algorithms and Data Structures, Bioinformatics, Mathematical Computer Science, Computer Graphics and Scientific Computing, Cryptography and Security, Data-Intensive Systems, Human Computer Interaction, Modelling and Validation of Distributed Systems, Object-Oriented Software Systems, and Programming Languages
