Centre for Advanced Studies–Atlantic
The Centre for Advanced Studies–Atlantic (CAS–Atlantic) within the Faculty of Computer Science conducts research aimed at advancing the performance and concurrency of software executing on multicore systems. Innovations are explored in the context of real-world applications through our industry partnerships, with large and small companies.
Students in CAS–Atlantic find that they are not just students; they are colleagues, collaborators and friends. Many graduates join local start-ups and feed this region's young businesses. Resources are available within UNB and the local community for entrepreneurial students to found their own companies.
Other graduates have joined leading companies (including IBM) here in New Brunswick, across Canada and around the world. Students work closely with extraordinary professors, using state-of-the-art resources (such as an IBM LinuxONE Rockhopper II Mainframe) and collaborate with other students and industry partners.
Funding is available to support top graduate students undertaking thesis research at UNB Fredericton.
Prospective students
CAS–Atlantic pools the research efforts of several faculty members, working in a variety of projects. Most of our projects are in partnership with industrial collaborators (such as IBM Canada), and while we may work directly with them on elements of their internal, proprietary code, UNB theses are fully public documents and candidates will be expected to produce research results on par with any comprehensive university in Canada.
