Sponsored Research
At IST, we are proud of the strength and diversity of our sponsored research.
Our integrated vision of research and learning is illustrated through the symbol of a tree. The roots represent the three basic constructs that define our program: information, people, and technology; the trunk represents the integration among them. Branching out from the trunk are the research themes that are part of the ever-evolving field of information sciences and technology, helping our society along the way in the following forms:
- More effective information presentation to students
- Intelligent agents in support of improved decision-making
- Intelligent search engines for better information access
- Real-time monitoring of health conditions
- Safety management in complex environments via intelligent monitors
- Support of national security endeavors
Please spend some time exploring the work of our faculty and see how they are expanding the research subjects illustrated here and beyond.
