The Colorado Research Institute for Security and Privacy (CRISP) is an active research group in information security at the University of Denver. CRISP is dedicated to creating security software that is directly useful for a broad audience, going beyond the usual construction of academic proof-of-concept prototypes. The current research interests of hte group are:

• Secure routing in P2P networks
• Consistency models for P2P systems
• Reputation systems for content discovery
• Detecting intrusion in large intrusion detection environments

 

The Center for Orthopaedic Biomechanics applies engineering principles to investigate clinically relevant issues. Using a combination of experimental and computational tools, the Center performs research in joint mechanics, human motion, musculoskeletal modeling, modeling fluid-solid interactions, wearable sensor systems, and implant device testing.  Partner Laboratories include:

• Computational Biomechanics Lab
• Human Dynamics Lab
• Probabilistic Mechanics Lab
• Biofluids Lab
• Biomaterials and Testing

The faculty is committed to student experiences at all levels: undergraduate, MS, PhD and post-doctoral fellows. Graduate students within the program can complete the PhD in Mechanical Engineering and MS in Mechanical Engineering or Bioengineering degrees

The center was established in 2007 to conduct nano-science related research between several departments of the University of Denver. Goals include conducting state-of-the-art research in the area of nanoscience and nanoengineering and offering state-of-the-art undergraduate and graduate education in the above area. Objectinves of the center are:

• The center will create a forum for major research interactions among researchers from several departments at DU
• Will provide strong "moral support" for junior faculty

This center was established in 1996 to conduct collaborative research between the Departments of Engineering, Physics & Astronomy, and Chemistry & Biochemistry. Between 1996 to 2008, the Center has graduated 7 PhDs and several Master students. Approximately 70 major journal publications (as of 2008) have been published based on research performed by the Center. The Center has been heavily supported by the National Science Foundation, Air Force Office of Scientific Research, the NASA Glenn Research Center, the Electric Power Research Institute, and various US electric utilities. It has been especially recognized internationally in the area of high-voltage composite insulators, high-temperature composites of aerospace applications, and for its work on the damage predictions in various composite systems.
