NC2IF Research and Projects

Our research is expanding, yet there is much more to explore. Information and knowledge are vast, so we focus on solving large-scale, global issues.

Here are a few of the areas we investigate:

  • Data and information fusion
  • Hybrid cognition (human in the loop)
  • Operational decision making and sensemaking
  • Information visualization and sonification
  • Evaluating performance level
  • Knowledge science; information chain
