About the Align Master of Science

Align is a two-and-a-half year program in computer science, data science, or cybersecurity that provides a flexible pathway to a master’s degree for motivated students and professionals holding a bachelor’s in any discipline.

Your experience matters—help shape the future of tech

“After my undergraduate studies, I worked as a corporate finance analyst in a two-year rotational program at a bulge bracket investment bank. I gained business management and financial analysis skills. I did not enjoy working with the legacy database systems at this bank. This frustration was one of my introductions to tech. … I am getting a graduate degree in computer science to understand the technicalities of building software applications and become a well-rounded product manager. Luckily, I found the Align CS program to help with the transition, especially since I had little programming experience. … I see an entrepreneurial future in merging my love for music, sports, and personal finance with some tech solutions. I look forward to growing as a computer scientist and working on cool projects.”

—Princewill, Align MSCS ’25 BS Economics

Towards Engineering Safe and Trustworthy AI Systems

Nowadays, we are witnessing an increasing adoption of Machine Learning (ML) for solving complex real-world problems. However, despite some reports showing that ML models can produce results comparable and even superior to human experts, they are often vulnerable to carefully crafted perturbations and are prone to bias and hallucinations. Ensuring the safety and trustworthiness of systems enabled by machine learning is a very challenging task. In this talk, I will discuss challenges that we should overcome to build safe and trustworthy ML-enabled systems and present some recent solutions that my team has proposed.

Presented by Foutse Khomh, Professor, Polytechnique Montreal, Department of Computer Engineering and Software Engineering
