Luddy Research Areas
Research areas include:
- Animal informaticsAnimal Informatics, including the subfield of Animal-Computer Interaction, is an applied research program of interest to the pet care industry, captive animal management (e.g., zoos, aquariums, livestock), animal welfare organizations, assistive and therapeutic support animal programs, veterinary medicine, wildlife conservation, and the cognitive, biological, and evolutionary sciences.
- Artificial IntelligenceInvestigate a wide variety of areas, problems, and approaches about artificial systems that perceive, understand, and learn from, react to, and interact with the world around them.
- Bioinformatics and computational biology Blend computing with biology to solve problems.
- Complex networks and systemsInvestigate and model complex systems.
- Computing, culture and society Study the impact of technology on society.
- Data ScienceUncover the information embedded in data.
- Digital heritageWe may broadly identify two principal research domains of the field called Digital Heritage: the study of ways of applying new information technologies to fields within the humanities dealing with examples of tangible and intangible heritage; and the study of digital resources as themselves a new form of heritage to be protected, preserved, analyzed, and disseminated.
- Embedded systems securityAn embedded system is a microprocessor - or microcontroller-based system of hardware and software designed to perform functions within larger mechanical or electrical systems.
