Artificial intelligence and machine learning enable the solution of complex problems by extracting information from patterns present in data. Problems range from image classification and system optimization and control to biological molecules and materials synthesis. Some areas have matured quickly and are impacting applications in biology and medicine, while others are at the level of fundamental research and development. Faculty in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering work with students and industry, both on teaching and research, to push the frontiers of artificial intelligence and machine learning to realize their potential for long-term societal impacts.
