Software systems research centers on designing, engineering, and analyzing complex, secure, and intelligent digital infrastructures. Key focus areas include distributed systems, cloud/edge computing, software engineering, and AI-driven software, with a strong focus on practical, industrial, and social applications.
Empirical Software Engineering Helsinki (ESE) is a research group at the University of Helsinki. We address software engineering research problems and challenges with industrial relevance or origin. We emphasise the empirical aspect of the research, in particular by applying research methods that enable us gaining deep understanding of software development.
The HCHI group brings together research enthusiasts from various fields such as engineering, design, medicine, nursing and psychology.
Our research group focuses on
- Human-centred design of electronic health (eHealth) services
- Patient experience
- Usability of electronic health record (EHR) systems
- User experiences of health and social care professionals
- Usability in IT system procurement
The mc² –Mobile Cloud Computing group at Aalto University, founded in 2016, conducts experimental systems research on edge computing and services for cognitive manufacturing, autonomous driving and digital healthcare. With members from technically diverse backgrounds, the mc² group is active in multi-disciplinary research and industrial collaboration.
Our goal is to improve spoken interaction, in applications such as telecommunication and speech interfaces. We develop methods which are efficient and sustainable with respect to resources and provide high sound quality and intuitive interaction while simultaneously retaining the privacy and trust of users. A particular area of interest is environments where multiple people interact with multiple devices, which requires advanced methods for communication, authentication, and processing.
