Future Research at UIC College of Engineering• Increased emphasis on partnerships with corporations to blend cutting-edge research with
practical, high impact, problems.
• Increased emphasis on interdisciplinary research areas across departments.
• Action: Organize research into clusters/centers:
• Bio-Technology - Spans across BioE, Che, ECE, CS and MIEEx. research components: tissue engineering, bioinformatics, data mining, biosensors
• Materials and Nanotechnology – BioE, CS, ECE, CME and MIE Ex. research components: interfacing nanostructures with biological structures, design automation, nanofabrication, nanofluidics
• Computing and Information Technology - All DepartmentsEx. research components: bioinformatics, networking/security, multimedia algorithms and architectures, industrial VR
• Infrastructure and Energy/Environmental Technology - BioE, ECE, CS, CME and MIE Ex. research components: sensor networks, intelligent transportation systems, wireless networking, bridge infrastructure/monitoring, distributed energy systems, combustion/emissions
