Integrated Electronics Systems Technology
Summary
Complex electronic systems are now everywhere (e.g. cars, planes, cellphones). There will be a continuing need to design and build such systems (electric cars, distributed power networks, bio-instrumentation, sensor networks, and information and communication systems) in an energy efficient way that can be scaled up in application space and scaled down in device size.

Information Systems
Summary
Research in ISL focuses on the development and application of mathematical models, techniques, and algorithms for information processing, broadly construed. In addition to work on the core disciplines of information theory and coding, control and optimization, signal processing, and learning and inference, ISL research spans several application areas, including biomedical imaging, wireless communications and networks, multimedia communications, Internet, energy systems, transportation systems, and financial systems. Much of this research is interdisciplinary and involves faculty and students from other departments across the university.
