After more than a decade of advancing sensing technologies and intelligent systems, FAU’s Institute for Sensing and Embedded Network Systems Engineering (I-SENSE) is evolving its identity to better reflect the breadth of its impact. Renamed I-SENSE: The Institute for Smarter Cities, Spaces, and Health, the institute continues its mission of developing innovative technologies that help communities, industries and organizations better understand and respond to complex challenges. Since its founding in 2015, I-SENSE has grown into a university-wide research hub of more than 80 members and 12 faculty fellows spanning engineering, computer science, ocean science, healthcare and other disciplines.

Through interdisciplinary collaboration and partnerships with academia, industry and government, I-SENSE researchers are advancing solutions that improve urban infrastructure, strengthen weather resilience, enhance national security, protect coastal and marine environments, modernize energy systems and transform healthcare. Institute-affiliated researchers have secured more than $76 million in external research funding as principal investigators, while also generating patents, startups and nationally recognized research infrastructure. Equally important, I-SENSE is helping prepare the next generation of scientists and engineers through hands-on research experiences that translate discovery into real-world impact.

“This new identity is not a change in our mission,” said Jason Hallstrom, Ph.D., executive director of I-SENSE. “It is a more precise articulation of the work we have always done. Our researchers develop technologies that help people understand complex environments, make informed decisions and solve real-world problems. The new name reflects the places where that impact is most visible today.”
