Horizon
ho·ri·zon| hə-ˈrī-zᵊn
a: the line where the earth seems to meet the sky.
b: the research group where sciences and engineering meet arts, abstractions meet implementations, and principles meet practices.
Horizon is a research group in the Department of Computer Science and the Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences at University of Rochester. We explore nature's mysteries, inspire inquisitive minds, and augment all forms of life.
Our main focus currently is visual computing, an incredibly exciting area that spans imaging (light transport, optics, and image sensors), human perception and cognition (psychophysics and computational modeling), and computer systems (computer architecture and programming systems). Ultimately, our research mission is to 1) discover new sciences to understand things we currently don't and 2) build new engineering systems to do things we currently can't.
We are always looking for students. If you are interested, please read this.
