                                <p>The third major research pillar in ESE brings together intelligent systems, AI-enabled electronics, secure and resilient infrastructure, healthcare systems, neuromorphic and unconventional computing, and networked intelligence. The department’s strengths in this area are unusually wide, covering AI hardware, intelligent networking, distributed inference, edge systems, embedded platforms, industrial automation, OT cybersecurity, healthcare electronics, neural systems, Internet-of-Bodies technologies, and cyber-physical infrastructure.</p>
                                <p>What makes this pillar significant is that it addresses one of the defining challenges of the coming decade: how to build intelligent systems that are not only powerful, but also trustworthy, energy-efficient, low-latency, and deployable in the real world. In ESE, this challenge is approached from multiple directions at once. Some groups work on edge AI, neuromorphic sensing, active-interconnect and unconventional computing, or AI accelerators. Others focus on communication systems, AI-aided resource allocation, distributed inference, or deterministic networking. Still others work on secure body electronics, diagnostics, implants, neural interfaces, or OT-security and industrial cyber-physical systems. These threads together create a broad and coherent intelligent-systems identity.</p>

                                <p>The long-horizon direction of this pillar is toward secure, real-time, energy-aware electronic systems that can operate in constrained and mission-critical environments—whether in healthcare, industry, mobility, communications, or national infrastructure. It is one of the strongest translational opportunity spaces in the department and likely to remain central to ESE’s public identity.</p>
