Department
Electrical Engineering, Mathematics & Computer Science
The Department of Intelligent Systems (INSY) conceptualises computer science
methodologies to sense, abstract, learn, reason, elicit and adapt data and
their meaning in ways that respect human values in order to increase
effectiveness, well-being and social innovation. At the heart of the
department is its research and teaching in computer science theory,
algorithms and solutions for information processing systems that support
humans (e.g. robotics), new products (e.g. internet services), and science
(e.g. biology).
The Computer Graphics and Visualization Group has a strong research record
and is known for its expertise in visualization, modelling, game technology,
and rendering. Besides these major topics, interaction techniques,
virtual/augmented reality, vision, perception, computational photography,
and simulations play an important role. The group also participates strongly
in the Delft Research Initiatives "Environment" and "Health", thus
aiming to
find solutions for tomorrow's problems. The group maintains a strong network
of partners from academia and the industry world-wide.
