Our world-class research looks at many different areas including:
- artificial intelligence
- computer security
- combinatorics
- data intensive systems
- health informatics
- 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.
Software systems
The group investigates the construction and analysis of complex software-based systems, especially those involving the distribution of data across the internet.
Mathematically structured programming
The group is looking at the development of programming languages for the future.
The Mobiquitous Lab
The group investigates user behaviour on mobile platforms and develops new mobile interaction mechanisms.
Combinatorics
The group research areas such as permutation patterns, combinatorics on words and applications to physics and biology.
Similarity & metric search
This research group focuses on using similarity to improve searching.
Computer security
This group researches intrusion detection, malware characteristics and human factors in computer security.
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.
