Emerging Technologies
Our researchers are active in emerging areas of scientific discovery—quantum, autonomy, and microbiome sciences, to name but a few—which have the capacity to transform digital communications, pharmaceutical testing, agriculture and the environment, and much more. While AI itself is not new, our work in changing the way AI systems are designed, developed, deployed and governed is expected to reap significant dividends in science and society.
Computing & Security
As computational platforms have advanced to benefit society in myriad ways, so has the need to protect people, finances and property from cyberattacks and other forms of digital malfeasance. Our cybersecurity center is renowned for its interdisciplinary research and scholarship in multiple areas involving privacy and security. UMIACS is also a leader in computer vision, 3D audio, and emerging areas of security research that involve machine learning and quantum cryptography.
Computing & Health
Our researchers are active on multiple fronts to improve the human condition. This includes partnering with physicians and clinicians to build new technologies for diagnostic procedures and medical training, developing new analysis tools to explore the human genome, and emerging research and scholarship involving the microbiome. Much of this activity takes places in the multiple centers and several large interdisciplinary labs that UMIACS supports.
