Research

Research at the School of Information (SI) covers a broad spectrum, characterized by highly collaborative projects that focus on testbeds -- assessments -- in real settings. Given the diversity of interests among faculty, SI researchers use a number of methods and approaches and often involve collaborations with faculty and students outside SI. All-in-all, SI's portfolio of projects offers a rich milieu for the advancement of knowledge and for the training of the next generation of researchers.
