USC Information Sciences Institute

The Information Sciences Institute (ISI) is a world leader in research and development of advanced information processing, computer and communications technologies.  

A unit of the University of Southern California's highly ranked Viterbi School of Engineering, ISI is one of the nation's largest, most successful university-affiliated computer research institutes.  The Institute attracts nearly $60 million annually -- from corporations and more than 20 federal government agencies -- for basic and applied research.

We bridge the gap between theoretical basic research and product-oriented research and development. ISI's diverse expertise ranges from core engineering and computer science discovery to design, modeling and implementation of innovative prototypes and devices.
