For general information, contact Tristen Hubbard.

HIP, an initiative of Harvard's Division of Engineering and Applied Sciences (DEAS), is aimed at fostering mutually beneficial relationships between outside groups and our interdisciplinary research groups in Computer Science and Electrical Engineering.

We aim to:

• bring together graduate students, faculty and industrial liaisons through collaborative research, periodic workshops, on-site visits, and summer internships;
• promote research on issues related to information technology, including network technologies, collaborative systems, and high-performance system design and analysis;
• offer a forum to explore long-range technology trends and challenges in information technology;
• enable technology transfer with industry.

Research Highlights

Computer Science
Harvard's faculty in computer science investigate a wide range of topics, including ground-breaking work in provably secure cryptography, the implementation of sensor nets, developments at the interface of economics and computer science, and discoveries in VLSI. To learn more go here.

Electrical Engineering
Electrical Engineering (EE) at Harvard covers a range of topics, from devices to systems. The emphasis on practice infused with fundamental science and mathematics offers ample research opportunities, both theoretical and experimental, at the forefront of the field and its interdisciplinary applications. Traditionally preeminent in control theory and robotics, EE at Harvard has actively grown to incorporate new research programs and advances in information technology. To learn more go here.

A complete list of our faculty, listed by specific research areas is available online and in print.
