Areas of Focus

The IASE serves as a hub for industry and federally funded efforts in all areas of cyber-physical systems. Further, the Institute builds on the strengths and progress made in its first years of operation and the unique talent base at UConn to serve as a hub for cross-cutting research and education.

Groundbreaking Research


Advance the state-of-the-art in the specification, design, verification, validation, and operation of complex and network-embedded systems operating at multiple time scales, under uncertainty and satisfying multiple criteria.

Faculty and researchers collaborating with industry, government and academia in applying systems engineering concepts, principles, processes and tools to solve practical problems.

Transformative Education


Provide a multidisciplinary environment enabling students to develop experientially-based expertise in model based systems engineering.

Deliver customized programs in advanced systems engineering for professionals that will enable them and their employers to solve today’s toughest problems that cannot be addressed by traditional domain specific methods and tools.

Network of Excellence


Host seminars and distinguished lecture series.

Arrange high-profile conferences gathering systems engineering thought leaders from academia and industry.

Industry Engagement


Provide opportunities for researcher exchanges between industry and UConn laboratories for Advanced Systems Engineering activities.

Place Advanced Systems Engineering trained interns and employees at Connecticut and national industries.
