Algorithms and Numerical Methods are one of the most critical fields to study in order to develop suitable solutions in many problem domains across science and engineering. In the computing arena, a pertinent focus for algorithms and numerical methods is networked computation, especially for internet-based activities. Study of algorithms and numerical methods can yield vital insights to the achieving of efficiency and reliability in the networked computation.  more... 

Bioinformatics changed the means of studying molecular biology; the use of computer technology in learning, understanding and exercising the fundamental molecules of life has brought in a new era of biological science. Some of our research interests in this area are gene sequences and analysis of gene databases. more...

Image processing has impacted almost every technical area, its techniques assisted many applications in the fields like medical imaging, space imaging and defense imaging. Over the years, the department has done enormous research work in these fields. Optical imaging and target recognition were among the others on which the department has focused its attention. more...

Cognitive Science is the study of mind and intelligence; it is an interdisciplinary study which collaborates with psychology, artificial intelligence, linguistics, philosophy and logic. Human mind cannot be modeled using a single computational model, we need to examine different models to know the mechanics of it and thus the study of this field is vital in developing next generation systems. more...

Researchers at UAH conduct research in the areas of machine learning, phenomena detection, knowledge discovery and distributed mining technologies. Particular emphasis is directed toward problems involving large heterogeneous spatial data sets, such as remotely sensed data. more...
