New CSE Programs

Computational Science and Engineering (CSE)

CSE is an exciting and rapidly evolving field that exploits the power of computation as an approach to major challenges on the frontiers of natural and social science and all engineering fields. In keeping with Harvard's emphasis on foundational knowledge, our program will focus on cross-cutting mathematical and computational principles important across disciplines.

Master's

A new master's degree program designed to train new leaders for a future where large-scale computation and advanced mathematical modeling will propel discovery and innovation in fields from psychology to photonics.

The program will begin accepting applications this fall, for enrollment in September 2013.

Secondary Field

SEAS welcomes applications for the Secondary Field in Computational Science and Engineering (CSE). This Secondary Field is available to any student enrolled in a Ph.D. program in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences.

Model Ph.D Programs

Model programs are guides for enrolled Ph.D. students and provide SEAS-wide course requirements for degrees with area-specific course requirements, guidelines, and model programs that are intended to help students develop programs with sound intellectual frameworks.

Graduate Life

Biomedical engineer Amy Kerdok '06 (Ph.D.) is a Clinical Development Engineer at Intuitive Surgical in Sunnyvale, California. She develops new instrumentation, advanced visualization schemes, and robotic platforms that support and advance robotic surgery.

Erez Lieberman '10 (Ph.D.) was a lead author of cover stories that appeared in Science and Nature while a graduate student. As a junior fellow he recently helped to define a new field called 'culturomics' with researchers from Google.

Haoqi Zhang '07 is a Ph.D. candidate in computer science who helped to spearhead a professional development program for graduate students.

Professional Development

Graduate students and postdocs are encouraged to attend a weekly seminar on topics related to professional development.
