UCI’s Steckler Center for Responsible, Ethical, and Accessible Technology (CREATE) was established in 2020 through a generous gift from Vincent (BS ’80) and Amanda Steckler. We promote research and education into the challenges of creating technological futures that produce positive change in the world, focused on principles of equity, accountability, and care. Based in the…

LUCI, the Laboratory for Ubiquitous Computing and Interaction, serves as a focal point for research that follows from this vision. Our group of researchers are interested in the challenges of designing, using, and understanding the elements of a ubiquitous computing world. Some of these different facets include computing in the face of mobile computers and…

ISR’s mission is to advance knowledge surrounding software and socio-technical systems by fostering innovative basic and applied research. ISR is dedicated to: fostering innovative basic and applied research in software and socio-technical systems; working with established companies, start-ups, government agencies, and standards bodies to develop and transition the technologies to widespread and practical application; educating…

Research in the fields of machine learning and intelligent systems addresses the fundamental problem of developing computer algorithms that can harness the vast amounts of digital data available in the 21st century and then use this data in an intelligent way to solve a variety of real-world problems. Examples of research activities in the Center…

The goal of the center is new and innovative technology research. The focus will be on how technology will improve emergency response. At the system level: robust systems, resiliency in extreme situations. At the Information level: convert large-scale, multi-modal information into actionable information upon which decisions can be made. A layer of social science research…

The goal of research in theoretical computer science is to produce results, supported by rigorous proof, about problems dealing with computers and their applications. The questions to be investigated are often motivated by practical problems, but the goal of understanding the fundamental structure of the problem is often as important as producing a solution of…
