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.
