CITRIS currently provides a framework for research in intelligent infrastructures, information technologies for energy and the environment, service sciences and management and the delivery of health care. The Center’s activities involve over 150 research faculty and more than 400 Ph.D. students from over 40 academic departments on the four campuses and it oversees a current portfolio of over $50 M annually in sponsored projects supported by industry and government agencies.
