Recognizing the Future

Collaborative Approach to the Development of Computer Vision Algorithms

Our Partnership

The University of Denver's Mohammad Mahoor partnered with professors from the University of Miami and the University of Pittsburgh to pioneer the development of facial expression recognition algorithms. Together, the team demonstrated the potential impact of interdisciplinary teamwork on the fields of affective computing and artificial intelligence.

About Our Research

We leverage cross-institutional collaboration to address some of today’s most pressing challenges, producing interdisciplinary solutions that influence policymakers to effectively serve the public good. From Stanford to UChicago to NYU, we’ve refined our collaborative process through years of mutually beneficial relationships with institutions nationwide to understand and address challenges like climate change, HIV and youth homelessness.

DU’s current research efforts have been featured in news outlets like The New York Times. They include…

  • exploring the effects of felony disenfranchisement.
  • employing lasers as the medium for quantum science.
  • using theatre to heal and rehabilitate inmates.
