Research

Research prepares students to be problem-solvers and innovators while also supporting the department's crosscutting areas of excellence.

Both undergraduate and graduate students have the opportunity to do research alongside expert computer science faculty in the areas of distributed embedded systems, machine learning, data mining, and software engineering. Or, you can choose the interdisciplinary route, doing research beside faculty in various engineering disciplines. In fact, compsci graduate students often work in large group settings with faculty from departments across campus, examining advanced research problems in bioinformatics, homeland security, embedded systems, and virtual reality. Cooperation between students and faculty at this advanced level is a hallmark of the computer science research program.

The mission of CPHS laboratory is to conduct cutting-edge research to design and develop smart and trustworthy cyber-physical human systems. Our focus is on multi-agent trust (e.g. due to security/privacy concerns, selfish interaction, social discrimination and lack of transparency), machine learning, and human decision modeling in the context of diverse application domains such as transportation, mining and healthcare. The laboratory is also equipped with a prototype transportation testbed which is equipped with autonomous robots (e.g. Nvidia Jetbots), Jetson Nano cards to mimic road side units and diverse sensors (e.g. cameras, EEG headsets to monitor driver’s mental state).

The mission of the Statistical Machine Learning Lab is to obtain methods for autonomous systems that solve novel use-inspired research problems. Our focus is on using statistical techniques to theoretically analyze the performance of proposed methods and to quantify the hardness of the problem. We utilize algorithmic techniques to reduce their computational cost and make them feasible for real-world applications. Several problems we work on are of an interdisciplinary nature and involve collaboration both within and outside the Computer Science department. We provide a supportive and creative environment for undergraduate and graduate students to engage in current machine learning research.
