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.
