From computer science and information systems to artificial intelligence and Human-Computer Interaction, our researchers explore, investigate and drive innovations designed to change the world.
Artificial intelligence
Our researchers explore cutting-edge AI technologies—from deep learning and data mining to natural language processing and agent-based systems. We tackle real-world challenges in cybersecurity, healthcare, finance, and government and turn bold ideas into practical solutions that make a real impact.
- Autonomy
- Natural Language Processing
- Computer Vision
- Digital Health
Computer science
From programming languages and algorithms to distributed systems, cybersecurity, and cryptography, we’re pushing boundaries in both established and emerging fields.
Human-computer interaction
We study, teach and are fascinated by issues arising from humans interacting with emerging technologies.
Information systems
We explore how people, technology, and business processes work together - uncovering how information technology shapes the way we live, work, and connect.
