Meet the Faculty: Walter Scheirer

Walter Scheirer, Ph.D. is the Dennis O. Doughty Collegiate Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Notre Dame. His research is currently concentrated in several socially relevant areas, including artificial intelligence, media forensics, and information security. As an interdisciplinary scholar, his work is not exclusively technical, and takes a serious and critical look at the human element of various technologies within these spaces. He has published over one hundred technical articles and two scholarly books, and periodically writes for a public audience in the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. As a teacher, he emphasizes thought beyond the classroom, bringing students and technologists together in dialogue.
