Introduction to the Intelligent Systems Research Center
Established in 2013 under the auspices of the Ministry of Science,
Research, and Technology, the Intelligent Systems Research Center (ISRC) at the
University of Yazd is dedicated to advancing research that meets national
development goals and automates domestic industries. In 2018, it received final
approval from the Ministry, solidifying its mission.
ISRC focuses on research aligned with regional and national needs in
three key areas:
- Electronics
& Computer Science: Telecommunications, computer
systems, network security, image processing, and audio processing.
- Mechanics: Robotics, mechatronics, and automation.
- Electrical
Engineering: Power networks, signal processing, control, and applied
electromagnetics.
Our long-term objectives are:
- Strengthening
industry-relevant research: Boosting the quality and
quantity of research projects focused on industry needs.
- Bridging
research and commerce: Commercializing research and
technology projects for real-world impact.
- Enhancing
student involvement: Guiding student research towards
industry-relevant topics.
- Engaging
faculty: Increasing faculty participation in research activities.
- Supporting
knowledge-based companies: Facilitating the establishment
of companies leveraging research outputs.
To achieve these goals, ISRC research groups focus on several key areas:
- Industrial
process optimization: Utilizing automation and
intelligent systems.
- Network
security: Protecting telecommunications and computer systems.
- Data mining and
search engines: Developing advanced information retrieval solutions.
- Next-generation communication: Researching and developing cutting-edge communication technologies.
- Electrical
engineering applications: Signal processing, control,
automation, and electromagnetics for practical applications.
- Mechatronics
and robotics: Developing advanced automated systems.
Currently, ISRC comprises four research groups:
- Mechatronics
- Telecommunications
and Computer Networks
- Signal
Processing
- Power Quality
and Intelligent Networks (launching soon)
ISRC actively seeks to expand its capabilities and activities to remain
at the forefront of intelligent systems research.
