Information Systems and Sciences

Welcome to the Information Systems and Sciences (ISS) Laboratory at Boston University. The ISS Laboratory groups researchers from various departments at Boston University with common interests in research, training and technology transfer in the field of information systems and sciences. Although members of the ISS Laboratory have a wide variety of research interests, there are four primary concentration areas.

Research from these areas finds application in a wide variety of critical national and international needs, including biomedical signal and image processing for disease detection, remote sensing for atmospheric science, buried land mine detection, distributed and mobile computing, sensor networks, and advanced visual communication and entertainment.

The above  topics and applications form the focus for exciting and challenging study and thesis work. Several dozen PhD, MEng as well as undergraduate students carry out research within the laboratory. They are supervised by more than a dozen dynamic faculty of international renown and with abundant financial support.

The research in the laboratory is suported by various sources, such as the National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, Office of Naval Research, Air Force Office of Scientific Research, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, as well as industry.
