How can I know if there is a "strong faculty in my area of interest"?

H-index on google scholar?

University Rankings are like the Body Mass Index of figuring out how good a university is - not entirely useless, but not to be used as anything more than a very rough gauge of what's going on.

That said, QS break down their (global) rankings by subject. Below is the link for computer science.

There's no easy way of telling how much better the nth-ranked university really is compared to the (n+m)th-ranked one, but it could be informative nonetheless.

That's a decent starting point, especially in CS.

If you wanna disclose your area of interest I may be able to point you to some departments. Contact information is in my profile, if you prefer email.
