Networking and Distributed Systems
Our research aims at developing the protocols, system architecture, and underlying principles for these systems. Our approaches range from highly experimental systems research to modeling and measurement, to theory.
Quantum Information Systems
Quantum information systems leverage the principles of quantum mechanics to process and store information in ways that classical systems cannot.
Robotics, Computer Vision, and Graphics
Robotics, Computer Vision, and Graphics at UMass Amherst represent the interface between computers and the world in which we live.
Security and Privacy
Computer security aims to protect systems and data from unauthorized access or modification, providing the classic guarantees of confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Software Systems and Architecture
Research in Software Systems and Architecture is concerned with improving the foundation upon which software systems are built, encompassing research that ranges from the low-level hardware architecture to compiler and runtime support systems, up to software development environments and advanced tools for reasoning about system behavior, as well as the interaction among these areas.
Theoretical Computer Science
Research on the foundations of computing employs mathematical tools to advance our understanding of computation on both man-made computers and networks as well as in natural environments including the human brain.
