Computer & information sciences

We research a wide range of areas including theoretical computer science, human-computer interaction, information sciences and software systems.

Our world-class research looks at many different areas including:

artificial intelligence
computer security
combinatorics
data analytics
data-intensive systems
health informatics
human-computer interaction
information architecture
information seeking behaviour
information policy
interactive information retrieval
mathematically structured programming
mobile interaction
software engineering

Our research projects are funded by a wide range of organisations including the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, the Arts and Humanities Research Council, the Economic and Social Research Council and the European Union.

We also work with a large range of industry and public sector partners including Microsoft, Rolls Royce Marine and the European Space Agency.

All of our research is carried out through six different research groups.

Strathclyde iSchool Research Group

The iSchool Research Group (SiRG) investigates arising socio-techno phenomena and evolving information systems and behaviours.

Mathematically structured programming

The group is looking at the development of programming languages for the future.

Combinatorics

The group research areas such as permutation patterns, combinatorics on words and applications to physics and biology.

Strathclyde Security Research Group

The group aims to ensure cybersecurity delivers on its potential to be one of the key technologies that will drive our economic, social and scientific development in the decades ahead.

Digital health & wellness

Our research interests and work includes looking at the full development lifecycle of truly person-centered digital health & wellness services and products.

Data Analytics, Software Systems, and Interaction Research Group

The group has research and knowledge exchange competencies in many aspects of data analytics, software systems, cyber security, usability, interactive systems design and evaluation of software and its usability.
