Research CentersCenter for Computational Intelligence, Learning, and Discovery
Director: Vasant Honavar The Center for Computational Intelligence, Learning, and Discovery (CCILD) pursues fundamental research and research-based advanced training in algorithmic models of intelligence, learning, and discovery. It brings together computer scientists, statisticians, and cognitive scientists to develop and apply algorithms and software tools for gleaning knowledge from data. This research is driven by scientific, economic, and technological problems of major societal importance which are drawn from virtually every area of human endeavor. The results of CILD research enable large scale data driven science, collaborative discovery, and decision making in Bioinformatics, Security Informatics, Medical Informatics, Human Computer Interaction, Semantic Web, e-Government, e-Commerce, and e-Science. NSF-IMI Combinatorial Sciences and Materials Informatics Collaboratory
Director: Krishna Rajan The Combinatorial Sciences and Materials Informatics Collaboratory (CoSMIC) is an international research and education center promoting the use of informatics and combinatorial experimentation for materials discovery and design. Operating through a cyber-infrastructure for global collaboration among researchers and educators, CoSMIC is an international consortium of universities and laboratories. Based at Iowa State University, it has partners at Florida International University, University of Maryland, University of Puerto Rico, Mayaguez, and the Kent State University led NSF Materials Digital Library (MatDL) Pathway consortium. Information Assurance Center
Director: Doug Jacobson Over two dozen faculty members from six academic departments work together in the Information Assurance Center to explore the problems of securing information in application areas ranging from software to networks to electronic democracy. To that end, the Information Assurance Center has established the Center for Information Protection, a National Science Foundation Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (I/U CRC), devoted to improving the performance capacity of the U.S. industrial enterprise. Over the past two decades, over fifty I/U CRCs have led the way with a new era of partnerships between universities and industry by producing high-quality, industry-relevant, fundamental research. The Center for Information Protection is one of the newest I/U CRC centers and will be the only center with a focus on information protection. The CIP is a joint effort between Iowa State University, New Jersey Institute of Technology, and the SUNY Stony Brook (soon to be added). The CIP is soliciting additional industrial support. There is still time to become member of the center, and help shape the future of information protection. Information Infrastructure Institute
Director: Arun K. Somani Research at the Information Infrastructure Institute (iCUBE) centers on understanding the requirements of critical national infrastructures to develop suitable information solutions. In its research, iCUBE fosters cross-fertilization between disciplines so that seemingly disparate applications can benefit from common overarching techniques and robust solutions. Involving more than 30 faculty members from four colleges, iCUBE’s research activities lead to innovative information solutions for energy systems, safety critical avionics systems, agricultural engineering systems, water and agriculture systems, numerical weather prediction models, transportation, and networks and earthquake engineering simulation. As an incubator for new technology, iCUBE’s research also promotes the growth of IT solutions-related industry in Iowa and nationwide by helping to educate and train people with the skills needed to solve engineering and scientific problems. Virtual Reality Applications Center
Director: James H. Oliver Research at the Virtual Reality Applications Center revolves around developing computer interfaces that integrate virtual environments, wireless networking, pervasive computing and emerging user interface devices to amplify the creativity and productivity of people. VRAC is home to more than $20 million in ongoing contract research for industry and government agencies and has research support for more than 50 faculty and 200 graduate and undergraduate students and post docs, addressing a diverse range of challenging problems that span the sciences, engineering, and the humanities. |
