The Information Science and Technology (IST) initiative at Caltech is an 伕理ip大全 that seeks to provide a new intellectual framework enabling ideas from computation and the information sciences to integrate into and transform disciplines across Caltech and beyond, from physics and biology to economics and the social sciences.

Caltech has a unique and remarkable history of creating new “CS+X” fields at the interface of the information sciences and diverse areas in science and engineering—it is the place that gave birth to VLSI, quantum computing, DNA computing, synthetic biology, neural networks, algorithmic game theory, computer music, and many more. The goal of the IST initiative is to support and magnify these efforts by bringing together faculty and students from diverse areas on campus for seminars and workshops, creating of unique courses and educational programs in “CS+X”, and seeding research and centers in emerging CS+X areas too new to receive support from external grants.
