HIGHLIGHTED RESEARCH
SCM RESEARCH AREAS
Smart City
"Smart City" is a multidisciplinary research objective that uses technology to develop innovative solutions to address urban development in ways that are climate sensitive, environmentally sustainable, and maintain a high quality of life.
SCM faculty research engages the smart city through urban media and environmental art, as well as in research on the social and environmental impact of digital technologies.
Digital Society
"Digital Society" seeks to "understand the relationship between technology and society" in a context where digital technologies are having a transformative impact on the way we live.
SCM faculty research fosters digital accessibility for all members of the community, explores the impact of computational algorithms and applications on society, and transforms the ways in which we engage with computational technology through physical computing.
