From insects to birds to mammals, Professor Daniel Abrams found that communication signals follow a common tempo.

Algorithm design and analysis is fundamental to all areas of computer science and gives a rigorous framework for the study optimization. This course provides an introduction to algorithm design ...

From cities to rural communities, water flows efficiently when engineering systems integrate local geography and community inputs. Without such infrastructure, a pump failure could result in a rural ...

Decades of research has viewed DNA as a sequence-based instruction manual; yet every cell in the body shares the same genes – so where is the language that writes the memory of cell identities?

Perreault, a professor of biomedical engineering at Northwestern Engineering and professor of physical medicine and ...

The Computer Science + X (CS+X) initiative at Northwestern University explodes the possibilities of interdisciplinary research. Our goal is to foster transformational relationships between computer ...

Computers and computational thinking are changing everything. At Northwestern University’s Department of Computer Science, we aim to lead that change. Northwestern Computer Science is an ideal hub for ...
