Real-world Impact

CSL researchers, strongly rooted in fundamentals, come together from many different disciplines to tackle problems from a broad interdisciplinary systems perspective.

This unique approach allows our researchers not only to contribute to basic science and engineering but also realize breakthroughs that have immediate national- and societal-scale impact.

A Collision of Ideas

In the labs and hallways of CSL, great ideas collide with novel results.

Researchers from more than a dozen disciplines unite to dream up the next big innovation, then settle down in their respective labs to perfect their piece of the larger picture.

The result: Advances in aeronautics, economics, energy, medicine, robotics, wireless communications and many other fields.

Innovation Incubator

As an incubator of great ideas, CSL has been instrumental in launching many new initiatives - both on the University of Illinois' campus and abroad. Their strategic aims range from building technology that interacts seamlessly with the real world to developing trustworthy systems.

These initiatives, while based in fundamental science, have the goal of producing technologies for a new marketplace, which increasingly relies on IT to drive innovation.

Technology Solutions

CSL has committed to driving innovation through the creation of centers and institutes in several key areas, including integrated microsystems, wireless systems, communication technologies and trustworthy supercomputing.

Many of the centers have strong ties with industry and government partners, who benefit from CSL's multidisciplinary focus. The resulting research provides solutions for information technology challenges now and in the future.

Seedbed of Institutes

CSL's interdisciplinary strength has led to the formation of several institutes. They include: Advanced Digital Sciences Center in Singapore -- Develops new technologies for digital media and the power grid. Information Trust Institute -- Creates trustworthy systems with applications in energy, finance, defense and homeland security, etc. Parallel Computing Institute -- Overcomes computational barriers across all computing platforms.

These institutes are shaping and changing the way people live, work and play.
