Coordinated Science Laboratory

Since its inception in 1951, the Coordinated Science Laboratory (CSL) has evolved into a world-class multidisciplinary research facility with over 450 researchers. Today, CSL is a world leader in IT infrastructure development. CSL’s work at the confluence of computing control and communications is making IT all-pervasive, high-performance, reliable, secure, and able to support a wide range of applications. Combining foundational issues with government-sponsored projects and industrial interactions are hallmarks of CSL projects.

Led by faculty who are world-renowned experts and supported by first-rate graduate students, CSL’s interdisciplinary teams explore new and innovative computing, communications, signal processing, and control technologies that make seamless wireless/wireline computing -- the backbone of the nation’s cyber infrastructure -- possible.
