The Radiant Systems Lab
Advancing reproducible, scalable, and trustworthy data-driven systems.
Our Mission
The Radiant Systems Lab in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Missouri-Columbia is dedicated to advancing the path from data to informed decisions across a wide range of domains. The Lab is a front runner in the design of reproducible, accountable, and trustworthy data-driven systems and infrastructure. It is directed by Dr. Tanu Malik and member expertise spans machine learning, big data management, resource and system optimization, data provenance and policy frameworks, scientific workflows, and DevOps solutions and practices.
