Its research focuses on problem-solving methods with computers, as well as the creation of programming languages and computational systems. It brings international intellectuals together with external partners, integrating rigorous theory and practical applications. Recent research programs include the following:

• A new technique that will test flood detection from space. The research is a first step in transmitting real-time information from space to disaster response personnel during the flood, and it has the capacity to enhance disaster response operations.
• Using modern machine learning algorithms to recognize individual lion roars. This capacity to remotely determine the number of individual lions in a group based on their roars has the potential to revolutionise the way lion populations are monitored.
• Developed an AI system that allows us to observe the Moon's polar regions in high resolution for the first time.
