RESEARCH FACILITIES

The department has several research laboratories with specialized hardware and software to support research in different sub-disciplines (such as software engineering, data mining, mobile computing, networks, image processing, computer graphics, visualization, human computer interaction, artificial intelligence, databases, Health Informatics etc.). There are over 40 dedicated machines (Research Machines), 12-set of BigData systems and 12-set of GPU systems for providing high performance computing needs. In addition, a PC cluster with 50+ nodes is setup for supporting research. This cluster runs MOSIX which extends Linux to manage the running processes on clusters.

To make use of the latest technology, our Department employs innovation products in our systems and applications around the areas and laboratories, such as Interactive Wall, Touch TV, Google glasses, VR device such as Oculus Rift, and 3D printer etc.

Research Centres and Laboratories: These centres and laboratories aim to support research and development. They are primarily used by academic staff, research staff, and postgraduate research students. The laboratories are equipped with specialized hardware and software to support research in different areas. These laboratories include:

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Laboratory (AIML)
Big Data and Data Management Laboratory (BDDM)
Blockchain and FinTech Laboratory
Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition Laboratory (CVPR)
Distributed Systems and Networking Laboratory (DSAN)
