The UMIACS faculty conduct research programs covering a broad range of areas, addressing both fundamental core computer science issues and fundamental problems at the interface between computer science and other disciplines.
 

The infrastructure provided by UMIACS is primarily geared toward supporting interdisciplinary research while the core computer science projects are primarily conducted through the Department of Computer Science.

Current interdisciplinary projects involve faculty from a number of disciplines and are typically conducted through one of the UMIACS laboratories. The current major research programs are listed below:
