Labs | Drexel CCI

CCI's laboratories serve as dedicated space for the College's smaller-sized and/or early research endeavors, located in state-of-the-art facilities across Drexel's University City campus. Our labs - staffed by CCI faculty, doctoral students and research assistants - focus on broad range of computing and informatics topics such as information privacy, human computer interaction, gaming technology, health information technology and data mining.
