"They think 'Oh no, I'm not a [computer science] major,'" Cohen says. "But there are no limitations there."
Amid ongoing efforts to expand the number of senior faculty in Harvard's Department of Computer Science, the University has granted tenure to Michael D. Smith, a popular associate professor who studies computer architecture.
"The promotion of Mike Smith to tenure is a wonderful development for computer science at Harvard, a real step forward in our efforts to strengthen this program," Harry R. Lewis '68, Dean of the College and Gordon McKay Professor of Computer Science, wrote in an e-mail message.
Smith, who obtained his doctorate in Electrical Engineering in 1993 from Stanford University, worked in the industrial field designing computer chips and central processing unit boards before beginning his teaching career.
Smith's promotion reflects Harvard's realization of that computer science is becoming an increasingly popular field of study, especially among undergraduates, said Watson Professor of Computer Science Michael O. Rabin.
