Resident Centers
Resident Centers
Within our space, at the IQ HQ, there are six research centers that represent a range of disciplines from multiple schools within the university. Each center is focused on forward-thinking solutions developed from its respective technology specialty, which include applied artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), imaging and surgical innovation, and smart mobility.
Center for Applied AI & Machine Learning
The Center for Applied AI & Machine Learning (CAIML) is a research and development center that partners with companies to apply cutting-edge artificial intelligence and machine-learning technologies to their products, services, and business processes.
Center for Applied AI with UT Dallas Expertise
The Center for Applied AI with UT Dallas Expertise (CAIQUE) showcases emergent applied AI research at the University to engage companies, win extramural grants, strengthen international partnerships and provide a global network for affiliated students to excel as UT Dallas alumni.
The multidisciplinary center draws from expertise across the University and will have affiliate faculty members from around the world. An industry advisory board will help shape the center’s direction.
Researchers from the Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science (ECS) will advance fundamental algorithms, data structures, and analytical methods. Additional ECS researchers will pioneer material point methodologies (meshless modeling frameworks) for representing complex topological data to help 3D-model the next generation of manufactured parts, including complex medical devices.
Listen to the CAIQUE Center Director, Dr. Walter Voit, and co-Principal Investigator, Dr. Eric Kildebeck, describe their vision for the center. Click the link below to learn more about one project — Polycraft World — of the many that the CAIQUE Center researchers are developing.
Center for Imaging and Surgical Innovation
Center for Imaging and Surgical Innovation (CISI) merges UT Dallas engineers and computer scientists, UT Southwestern Medical Center investigators and clinicians to develop emergent technologies to improve patient care and human health. UT Dallas, UT Southwestern, and local companies will collaborate on translational research, clinical trials, and product commercialization.
Center for Smart Mobility
The Center for Smart Mobility (COSMO) aims to provide advanced solutions for the engineering of smart, multimodal cyber transportation infrastructures to improve safety and enhance mobility for drivers, bicyclists, and pedestrians. The center aims to pursue community engagement, strengthen industry collaboration, accelerate the transition of research into the real world, and advance education and outreach efforts.
IQ Design
IQ Design creates engaging experiences that communicate the significance of innovative research at UTD.
Multi-Scale Integrated Intelligent Interactive Sensing
The Multi-Scale Integrated Intelligent Interactive Sensing (MINTS) Center will develop and deploy a cost-effective irrigation decision-support tool that uses super-resolution machine learning and remote sensing imagery from satellites, drones, and security cameras. The center will collaborate with municipalities, corporate campuses, and homeowners to save money by optimizing their irrigation water usage.
