Informatics Systems Research
Large volumes of stored information, known as Big Data, are critical to maintain and preserve. Research in this area builds the technological tools required to rapidly share and correlate data to advance the fields of medicine, delivery systems and more. ISI’s Informatics Systems Research specializes in highly collaborative, user driven research, working in areas such as data management abstractions, computer security, user interfaces, human factors and domain specific algorithms.
Main Research Areas
Grid Computing - Information Security - Service-oriented Architectures - Medical Informatics
Networking & Cybersecurity
Networking is the backbone of our ever-evolving, interconnected world and cybersecurity is its guardian. The prevalence and interdependence of both informs our research. We are focused on understanding the underlying internet, human behavior through social simulation, the theory and practice of distributed computing, and approaches to analyzing vulnerabilities and engineered attacks through scientific methods using modeling, experimentation and evaluation.
