CIS Research Profiles
Imagine a world where you can access any publication anywhere at any time. William Arms thinks that world is technically feasible because computing is now easy and cheap and there is no technical barrier to putting information online.
As a concert-level pianist, an expert in judo, a motorcycle racer, a certified emergency medical technician, a mathematician, and a professor of computer science, Graeme Bailey is clearly a man of many applications.
Kavita Bala wants to change the way you see images on a computer.
John Bunge is a navigator in a sea of numbers. An associate professor in Cornell’s Department of Statistical Science who holds a joint appointment with CIS, he is developing innovative methods to help solve a knotty problem: how many classes or species should we expect to find in a population, given incomplete information?
Bridging gaps is the common theme in the varied interests of Ron Elber, a professor in the Department of Computer Science.
Since 2001, Daisy Fan has been one of the friendly faces greeting incoming students in CIS and the Department of Computer Science.
Imagine that basic phone service only allowed you to make outgoing calls, but not to receive incoming calls, and that to receive incoming calls you had to pay a lot more.
Geri Gay is working hard to put you in control.
Most people take the progress of the digital age for granted. But according to Cornell Professor Tarleton Gillespie, such an attitude among consumers and lawmakers can be downright dangerous.
Dan Huttenlocher isn't afraid to let his interests roam.
Thorsten Joachims is a man dedicated to making your toaster smarter than you. That’s one way of characterizing at his research, anyway. A less duplicitous way is to say that he’s interested in machine learning.
If you haven’t heard of Cornell professor of computer science Jon Kleinberg, then someone you know probably has.
Computers can fly airplanes, predict the paths of hurricanes, and beat the best human chess players, but they can’t yet do something even small children can do: hold a natural-sounding conversation.
One component of Professor Hod Lipson’s research—which explores if computers can accelerate and augment human invention—bristles with monumental implications.
Sally McKee helped create the controversial phrase “memory wall.” In 1994, she co-authored a paper demonstrating that the increasing disparity between microprocessor and Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) speeds would eventually lead to computers hitting a “memory wall.”
Have you ever thought about the profound psychological impact the school cafeteria has on your life? No? Well, Jorge Peńa has.
With the current interconnection of network systems, such as the Internet, phones, power grids, and banking systems, security has become a major concern of organizations and individuals. Fred B. Schneider works to make these systems more trustworthy.
