This initiative includes computational research from quantum scale to commercial manufacturing scale, and permeates all disciplines. The power of high-performance computing combined with the enormous value of available data provides both an opportunity and challenge to produce new and trustworthy insight. Multiple disciplines must come together to assure that both questions and answers are correct.
Computation and Data
Featured Computation and Data Research
Pushing Moore’s Law to New Heights
The capabilities of electronic devices have grown exponentially in recent decades, but the hardware making this possible is starting to reach the limits for how small and how fast it can get. Illinois Institute of Technology Assistant Professor Heng Wang has received a National Science Foundation award to investigate a potential solution that could blow progress wide open again with spintronics.
Body Over (Artificial) Mind
Assistant Professor Ren Wang received a Ralph E. Powe Junior Faculty Enhancement Award for his research using insights from the human adaptive immune system to make artificial intelligence systems more resilient.
Will Bitcoin Go Up or Down?
Associate Professor of Finance Sang Baum Kang at Illinois Institute of Technology’s Stuart School of Business is co-author of a paper published in The Journal of Alternative Investments that provides new empirical evidence about bitcoin returns to guide investment professionals, economists, and academic researchers.
A National Tech Hub
Illinois Tech is a member of a group of universities, wireless industry leaders, and governmental bodies that has been named an inaugural Tech Hubs Strategy Development Consortium by the United States Department of Commerce’s Economic Development Administration.
Bias Training for AIs
Research into limiting artificial intelligence bias against certain demographic groups has allowed Canyu Chen (Ph.D. CS 3rd Year) to collaborate with industry experts and publish in a research journal.
Honoring A Career of Mathematical Mastery
Professor Chun Liu was elected as a 2024 fellow for the American Mathematical Society for his outstanding contributions to the field.
