Modern software development is being challenged as never before. AI is reshaping how software is built, who builds it, and what it can do. Quantum computing is not far behind. What the world expects of software grows more consequential by the day. Yesterday’s engineering discipline has met its limit. We must now build the discipline that the future requires, and there has never been a more exciting time.

ISR is at the forefront of future software. We treat software not just as code, but as a human and societal force. For decades, we have impacted how it is built, how it succeeds, and how it shapes people and organizations. We work across the full spectrum of software engineering and the emerging frontiers of AI and quantum software. We partner with industry and government to translate research into practice, and we prepare the next generation of leaders in a field that never stops reinventing itself.

We have the ideas. We conduct the research. We deliver the education. Join us in this journey! Contact us for industry partnerships. Become a PhD student. Sign up for professional degree programs. There is a place for you at ISR and UC Irvine. However you engage, your work matters!
