Fundamental Physics & Mathematical Systems
Models of structure. Testable questions.
Models of how physical structure forms, holds, and responds, and the mathematics that describes it.
Programs
Research
Questions that connect disciplines.
SPARK pursues research where physics, signals, computation, and engineering meet, and carries it from first principles to working systems.
Spectral Computing & Intelligence
New ways to represent, retain, and process information.
Research into deterministic computing and machine intelligence that retains context, traces its reasoning, and repeats its answers.
Multimodal Sensing & Earth Intelligence
Understanding environments through complementary measurements.
Approaches for examining physical environments through signals, imagery, and complementary measurements.
Advanced Systems & Experimental Engineering
Making a research question tangible.
The translation of models and computational methods into instruments, experimental apparatus, and prototype systems.
Security & Resilience
Investigating integrity in complex systems.
Emerging research into signal integrity, anomalous behavior, and the assurance of intelligent and distributed systems.
