About

Our group focuses on computer system design at all levels of both hardware and software. Computer systems are a vital part of our modern society and development in this area directly underlies the biggest economic shift since the industrial revolution. Through innovative research our students learn about technical processes, such as microprocessor architecture, while also being informed about social and cultural issues in software development teams.

We perform research on computer architecture, optimizing compilers, programmable hardware, computer-aided design tools, computer security, distributed systems, middleware, real-time and embedded systems, software architecture and software engineering, computer vision, artificial intelligence, and human computer interaction.
