Auton Lab Research Thrust

Auton researchers are driven by the strong desire to create innovative solutions which make real life impact. Researches from Auton Lab are not only evaluated by its "coolness" from academic point of view, they're also judged by "usefulness" -- by the end users. As a matter of fact, the majority of our researches are driven by challenging real world problems which are put forward by an end user in the application domain, be it bio-surveillance, astroid tracking, link analysis, or drug discovery. This is an incomplete list of our main lines of researches in recent years, which hopefully could give you a taste of the research activities at the lab.
