Hello everyone!

Artificial intelligence, Computational Biology, Computer Architecture, Database systems, Graphics, Programming languages, robotics, scientific computing, security, systems and networking, theory of computing.

first question: while shortlisting the universities , is it necessary to choose and keep a research area in mind? like shud i use univ X becoz i like security and it is a research area available in Univ. X?

Second question: Hw can i found out wat research areas wud be more favorable keeping future job search in mind in US? Hw can i get more information!
