Thanks to our distinctive organizational framework and engineering methodology, such as the absence of rigid divisions between engineering fields, our research is inherently cross-disciplinary and frequently involves collaborations with other university departments beyond the School.
Reflecting our interdisciplinary ethos, the School of Engineering operates without conventional departments, and Brown University does not grant degrees tied to specific research domains.
Faculty members and students engage in work spanning speech recognition, speech processing hardware, adaptable and parallel computing, and microphone array studies. Present efforts concentrate on tackling challenges in real-world settings using large-scale microphone arrays. Beyond embedded signal-processing systems research, a cross-disciplinary initiative focuses on modeling, manipulating, analyzing, and drawing conclusions from 3D shape data, with applications in archaeology and art. Computer System Design research encompasses a wide range of subjects, including integrated circuit design automation and testing, reconfigurable computing, probabilistic computing, embedded system development, digital integrated circuit reliability, computer architecture, 3D integrated circuits, and the intersection of biological and computational systems.
