Who We Are
Introducing CSL
Coordinated Science Laboratory (CSL)
The University of Illinois’ Coordinated Science Laboratory is a premier, multidisciplinary research laboratory that focuses on information technology at the crossroads of computing, control and communications.
With a rich history of nearly 60 years of innovation, CSL has developed and deployed new technologies that have achieved international scientific recognition and transformed society.
Led by a faculty of world-renowned experts and researchers, CSL uses these innovations to explore critical issues in defense, medicine, environmental sciences, robotics, life-enhancement for the disabled and aeronautics.
What We Do
Our current efforts include:
- Building next-generation air transportation systems.
- Enhancing multi-modal imaging and visualization for health care, animation, security and surveillance.
- Designing pervasive and embedded technologies, from hand-held devises to large-scale systems.
- Creating telecommunications networks that are secure, available, safe, private, and survivable in the face of attacks and other disruptions.
- Building new parallel technologies for high-end computing applications.
- Constructing new wireless technologies for seamless, high-speed communications.
- Designing new architectures for the future power grid.
CSL is building the infrastructure today to make these advancements a reality for tomorrow.
