  • Human-Computer Interaction
    10/18/21
    Human-computer interaction (HCI) is a multidisciplinary field of study focusing on the design of computer technology, in particular, the interaction between humans (the users) and computers.  HCI researchers observe the ways humans interact with computers and design technologies that allow humans to interact with computers in novel ways.
  • Information Integrity
    1/17/23
    One of the biggest challenges we face in society today is ensuring that the information that we depend on in almost every facet of our lives is accurate and trustworthy. Wide-spread distortions of the truth, in the form of misinformation, disinformation, and malinformation, undermine public trust in critical democratic institutions and the validity of scientific evidence, and authentic communication. Information Integrity aims to restore trustworthiness by authenticating information and exposing manipulations and malicious intents.
  • Mobile Computing
    10/15/21
    Mobile systems research focuses on the design and implementation of next-generation systems for mobile devices. Research topics include mobile data management, wireless networks, sensing systems, static analysis and instrumentation for mobile apps, mobile image and video analytics, and secure and low-power hardware for mobile devices.
  • Natural Language Processing
    1/17/23
    Focuses on developing fundamental techniques, prototype systems and applications in natural language processing and information retrieval.
  • Operating Systems
    10/15/21
    Focuses on developing innovative system software and programming techniques to manage computer hardware, software resources, and common software-mediated services.
  • Programming Languages and Software Engineering
    10/15/21
    Programming Language research focuses on type systems, program logics, language-based and differential privacy and security; language, compiler, and run-time design for reliable systems; static and dynamic analyses for real-time Android; run-time visualization and verification; adaptive memory management; language concepts for database programming; logic- and constraint-based systems.
  • Society and Computing
    1/17/23
    Computing is ubiquitous in society today. Computing touches all aspects of our lives and sometimes in ways that are not beneficial (even though the intent of the developer is not to cause harm). What has become clear is that we cannot develop systems for society without meaningful and deep collaborations with disciplines that have thought about society for much longer than computing. The challenge is to incorporate knowledge from humanistic studies from day one in the design of computing systems.
  • Computer Security and Cryptography
    1/17/23
    Focuses on applied cryptography, authentication, software and system security, threat modeling, anomaly detection, wireless security, cloud security, human-centered security, differential privacy and empirical cyber security.
