Computer science research

The Animation, Neuroscience and AI lab in the CU Denver Department of Computer Science and Engineering is an interdisciplinary research center dedicated to developing computational models of human and animal movement to understand how the brain generates movement and designing novel rehabilitation therapies and assistive devices for patients with movement disorders. Our work is done in close collaboration with neuroscientists and clinicians.

DECENT Lab

Machine learning is so pervasive that we use several applications of it every day without even realizing it. In the past, machine learning provided us with a bounty of algorithms to analyze data. But, as data generation has become less expensive, machine learning researchers are now being challenged by the sheer scale and complexity of the data. In this era of Big Data, we need efficient algorithms to tackle the data analysis irrespective of the data size and complexity.
