Mission Statement

Emerging Computing Models and Technologies

The mission of teuscher.:Lab is to study, rethink, model, and design the implementation of computations in living and non-living systems. An understanding of the phenomena provides a basis for better, smarter, and more robust computing paradigms, architectures, devices, algorithms, languages, and systems for applications such as embedded systems and biomolecular engineering. We are interested in bold, visionary, and transformational solutions to complex and critical problems needed for the medium- and long-term sustainability of the technological future of all computing disciplines.

The research is needs-, problem-, and phenomena-driven, with the goal to open new application domains. We use a radical interdisciplinary approach and apply tools from computer science, computer engineering, engineering, physics, biology, complex systems science, and cognitive science to the study and the design of new computing paradigms and machines.

teuscher.:Lab is committed to serve the students and the faculty of PSU, the local community, the industry, and the scientific community worldwide. We strive to discover, disseminate, and educate to make a difference for today's and tomorrow's society that depends on increasingly pervasive and complex computers.

Seeking students with special interests and expertise. NEW

Ever wondered how computers will look like in 20 years? Want to be part of the next big revolution? Ever wondered what 10 billion bio-engineered bacteria could do for you? How you could harness the complexity of massive self-assembled random nanowire networks? How you would program a 10,000 core chip? How you would solve a large-scale problem reliably and efficiently with unreliable bio-molecules? Want to create technology creating technology? Machines that configure, program, and repair themselves?

We invent | design | create | investigate future and emerging computing architectures and machines, nano, molecular, bio, and other non-classical devices and computing substrates, complex networks, networks-on-chip, cellular systems and automata, reconfigurable and spatial computing, novel programming paradigms, developmental paradigms, cognitive and complex adaptive systems, massive-scale parallelism, self-assembly and self-organization, heterogeneous and random systems, and more. We use theory, simulations, and experiments to validate our concepts.
