Our researchers are driving innovation across the entire hardware, software and network stack to make computer systems more reliable, efficient and secure.
From internet-scale networks, to next-generation chip designs, to deep learning frameworks and more, we build and refine the devices and applications that individuals, industries and, indeed, entire economies depend upon every day.
Research Groups & Labs
SyFI Lab
The SyFI Lab (Systems for Future Intelligence) builds efficient and resilient infrastructure for the future of AI. As applications grow more complex, we bridge the gap between next-gen models and heterogeneous hardware through cross-stack innovation.
Molecular Information Systems Lab (MISL)
MISL explores the intersection of information technology and molecular biology using in-silico and wet lab experiments, drawing upon expertise from computer architecture, programming languages, synthetic biology and biochemistry.

Centers & Initiatives
AI@UW aims to push the boundaries of AI technology in service to the public good by advancing ethical, interdisciplinary AI research while fostering practical innovation to benefit society at large.
IFDS organizes its research around four core themes: complexity, robustness, closed-loop data science, and ethics and algorithms. By making concerted progress on these fundamental fronts, IFDS aims to lower several of the barriers to better understanding of data science methodology and to its improved effectiveness and wider relevance to application areas.
