We are the Intelligent System (IntelliSys) Lab at the ECE Department of Stevens Institute of Technology. Our research bridges artificial intelligence (AI) and novel system architectures by designing efficient and robust AI algorithms and developing intelligent and high-performance computing systems. Check our roadmap.
