Welcome to the Energy Informatics Laboratory

The Energy Informatics Laboratory (EIL) was founded in 1995 by Dr. Christine Chan. The research objective of the EIL is to conduct and promote R&D in applications of artificial intelligence and knowledge-based system technologies for problem solving in the energy, natural resources, and environmental sectors.

Research Focus

• Applications of artificial intelligence and knowledge-based systems for energy and environmental system analysis
• Compter-assisted instructional software
• Methods and tools for ontological engineering
• Knowledge acquisition, modeling, and management
• Knowledge and software engineering for knowledge-based systems
• Object-oriented methodologies for knowledge-based systems development
• Social and economic impact of information technology
