Whether you're looking to innovate in medical technologies, improve network infrastructure, prevent cyber attacks, or to accomplish something else entirely, you can gain the knowledge, skills, and experience you need. Collaborating with SCI's renowned faculty, make a difference not only in computing and technology fields but also for people and communities.
Dive into the different areas where faculty conduct research and scholarly work to discover more.
For example: building technologies that are more secure, more fun to interact with, or ones that assist in varying fields, like medicine or transportation.
SCI faculty conduct research on CPS and IoT to improve how these devices function and ultimately how they can better help people and communities.
Our research includes securing and maintaining privacy and confidentiality of data in smart homes, high-performance computers, sensor networks, distributed systems, and cyber-physical systems, among others.
Research conducted around databases and data management explores how to better collect, store, organize, retrieve, and use the data that drives decision-making across industries.
We explore the relationship between technology and people. This research includes topics like augmented reality, human and artificial intelligence collaborations, and focuses on real-world applications in areas like education, health, and sustainability.
By studying user behavior and attitudes, user experience design researchers gain insights on how to make products and platforms more effective for the people using them.
For example: creating better computer systems, building more efficient networks, constructing faster AI algorithms, or developing the latest in quantum innovation.
This research encompasses SCI’s work around artificial intelligence, the development of computer systems able to perform tasks that usually require human intelligence.
Researchers in this field study how computer systems can be built, as well as how they can be improved, including making them more efficient, secure, and sustainable.
Distributed systems are collections of independent computers that look like a single coherent systems to users. These computers share resources, data, and tasks to achieve a common goal.
An emerging field in computer science and engineering, quantum computing uses quantum mechanics to solve complex problems that traditional computers either can't solve or solves them more efficiently.
Network science studies how networks -- connections between humans, machines, data, and other elements -- communicate information.
For example: studying how AI impacts the workforce, analyzing how misinformation affects online communities, or using virtual reality for cultural preservation.
Researchers in these sciences study all aspects archival work and librarianship, from developing a framework for sustaining archives to the death of digital platforms.
As the world continues to be transformed by data and data-driven analysis, our research explores how it impacts society as it becomes increasingly integrated into our lives.
This research studies how data and information is collected, shared, stored, and used, as well as setting the standards for these practices.
This research explores the intersection between computational systems and social behavior.
For example: building an e-learning environment for introductory programming, designing an augmented reality (AR) application for use during surgery, or discovering how carbon emissions can be reduced in subway systems.
SCI researchers explore how data and technology can be used in clinical and medical settings, from teaching health through technology to how technology can be used to aid surgeons in the operating room.
SCI faculty research how technologies can not only better understand how people learn, but also how to help people learn as well as the role of technology in learning and evaluating learning.
Research in this area explores how data and technology can be used to understand how people engage in public issues as well as how they can be used to improve public life and the processes by which we engage in it.
SCI researchers look at how the Internet of Things (IoT), sensors, and other technologies can automate and optimize operations within building, cities, and transportation services.
SCI researchers in this area study how technology can be used to improve the sustainability of our buildings, infrastructures, and more.
