Accelerated Discovery

IBM has been at the forefront of computer science research since the fields inception. Our research today focuses on discovering breakthroughs in automation, information processing, and computation. Our goal is to complement and extend human performance — and advance society as a whole. 

Computer Science

We’re working on automation, information processing, and computation research to complement and extend human performance and advance society.

We're working on groundbreaking research aiming to revolutionize the field of life sciences. We're solving some of the most important issues humanity faces with artificial intelligence, developing novel and unconventional computing structures, as well as mathematical and computational modeling.

Life Sciences

Our groundbreaking AI research aiming to solve some of the most important issues humanity faces.

It can take over 10 years to come up with new materials. At IBM Research, we’re looking to accelerate the discovery process using new AI methods, robotics, the hybrid cloud, and quantum computers. Our goal is to unlock new properties and materials to address global challenges in years not decades.

Our long history of research has had an enduring impact on computer science, operations research, and information theory. We’re currently focused on optimization, probability, complexity, geometry of data, as well as linear and multi-linear algebra, to deliver tools that are fundamental to big data and AI.

Mathematical Sciences

We’re focused on foundational mathematical research with the aim of delivering tools to that are fundamental to big data and AI.

Our physical sciences researchers seek to understand materials and their properties through advanced characterization methods, explore novel devices and materials for new computational platforms, and apply physics to improve AI algorithms and interpretability.
