NU Computing Research Center
The National University Computing Research Center (NU CRC) is envisioned to be an agent for economic growth and a leading research hub under the College of Computing and Information Technologies (CCIT). The NU CRC is aimed at pioneering and directing the development, advancement, preservation, and dissemination of knowledge in the field of computing.
Under the CRC are three (3) computing research laboratories designed to support the research initiatives of CCIT for both faculty members and students in various computing disciplines.
Research Laboratories
Web and Mobile Computing Innovations (WaMCl)Laboratory
The Web and Mobile Computing Innovations (WaMCI) Laboratory supports and provides a venue for research endeavors of students and faculty members of CCIT in the field of Web, Cloud, and Mobile Computing. The WaMCI Laboratory is focused on web and mobile systems and their applications in pervasive computing, augmented reality, education, healthcare, security, unmanned aerial vehicles, and robotics. Research under the laboratory includes innovations in web and mobile applications in both smartphones and tablets with the goal of addressing societal and business needs.
Human Interaction and Digital Signal Processing (HiDSP) Laboratory
The Human Interaction and Digital Signal Processing (HiDSP)Laboratory supports and provides a venue for research endeavors of students and faculty members of CCIT in the fields of human-computer interaction and digital signals processing. HiDSP is dedicated to the pursuit of research and development works in the analysis of interaction between people and computers, and signal processing such as sounds and images. The goal of the laboratory is to develop competent and productive research that addresses societal issues and can be applied in nation-building. Furthermore, involved researchers will explore the application of different advanced machine learning and computational approaches in solving engineering problems
Human Language Technology (HLT) Laboratory
The Human Language Technology (HLT) Laboratory is envisioned both as the national benchmark and leading research and innovation space in the ASEAN region for the field of human language technology. With an interdisciplinary team of researchers and innovators, the collective is pioneering and directing the development, advancement, preservation, and dissemination of knowledge in this field.
