Computer Systems & Signal Processing

Mission

Embedded computer systems are transforming the way people live and the way society operates. There are now more microprocessors than people on the planet. The mission of the Computer Systems Engineering Group is to be a leader in these technological developments.

Vision

Our vision is to conduct computer systems engineering research that will provide benefits to individual people and society at large
