EECS research spans a wide range of disciplines essential to the growing information technology field. Our faculty are organized into six research divisions, and several have dual affiliations |
|
SSP | Solid State & Photonics |
The SSP division contains faculty whose main research interests include the design, analysis, and proof-of-concept development of solid-state and photonic devices and systems. |
SigSys | Signals & Systems |
The SigSys division broadly covers signals including images and other forms of information and their acquisition, representation, processing, analysis and interpretation, coding, transmission through networks, wireless and other channels, and the control of linear and non-linear dynamic systems. |
CAA | Computing, Algorithms & Applications |
The research of the CAA division focuses on algorithms, theory, applications, and software and hardware implementations. Current research areas include bioinformatics, computational economics and finance, continuous and discrete optimization, database algorithms, formal methods, networking algorithms, security algorithms, self-assembly, and VLSI CAD algorithms. |
CES | Computer Engineering & Systems |
The two wings of the CES Division are Computer Engineering - CE and Computer Science - CS. Research is conducted in architecture, operating systems, distributed and parallel systems, compilers, the interface with software systems, robotics, databases, VLSI, networking (including security), and performance analysis. |
CogSys | Cognitive Systems |
The CogSys division conducts research focused on understanding how the mind works (with a computational focus) and on creating systems for education, performance support, and entertainment that exploit principles of cognitive science and artificial intelligence. |
GIM | Graphics & Interactive MediaFaculty |
The GIM division contains faculty whose research goal is the interaction of data, information, and images as gathered, processed, and presented by a computational system with humans. |
