Computer scientist

A computer scientist is a person that has acquired knowledge of computer science, the study of the theoretical foundations of information and computation and their application in computer systems. Computer scientists typically work on the design of the software side of computer systems, versus the hardware side which computer engineer mainly focus on, although there is overlap. Computer scientists can work on, and research in, areas such as algorithm development and design, software engineering, information theory, database theory, computational complexity theory, human-computer interaction, computer programming, programming language theory, computer graphics, and computer vision. Their specific jobs notwithstanding, the term computer scientist should not be used interchangeably with the previous terms. Overall, computer scientists study the theoretical foundations of computing from which the other fields (software engineering, information theory, database theory, computational... full article at wikipedia
