College overview
The Australian National University (ANU) College of Engineering and Computer
Science (CECS) is a vibrant and diverse community of more than three
thousand students, staff, and visitors. Our College comprises three schools:
the School of Computing, School of Cybernetics, and School of Engineering,
supported by the Professional Services Group. We aim to bring together
expertise in social, technical, ecological and scientific systems to build a
new approach. In the College, we draw on our disciplinary foundations to find
and solve problems of global importance. Our people build on our traditional
world-class expertise and take it in creative, unconventional directions.
Through the Reimagine investment, we have the privilege and the responsibility

COVID-19. Join us in shaping a new intellectual agenda to reimagine
engineering, computing, and the use of technology in the world.
The School of Computing has a strong foundation in computing and information
sciences at ANU. We are a transformative centre for research in artificial
intelligence and machine learning, computer systems and software, and
theoretical foundations of computing. We span traditional and modern thinking,
connecting decades of computer science methodologies with modern data and
computational science. Our mission is motivated by the need to design, drive
and sustain strategic activities via five broad focus areas: Computing
Foundations, Computational Science, Intelligent Systems, Data Science and
Analytics, and the Software Innovation Institute. Be part of an innovative and
forward-looking intellectual agenda, built on a diverse, inclusive culture.
