MTRI Presents to Michigan Tech!! Click here to view all of the posters presented on the Husky’s campus on October 3, 2008.
– Be a recognized leader in the research, development and use of Information Technology to support solution of critical problems in national security, infrastructure, bioinformatics, earth sciences and environmental processes.
– Be acknowledged nationally and internationally as an innovator for the marriage of phenomenological understanding and implementation of the mathematically rigorous algorithms to build information from data in support of sponsor needs.
– Provide visibility and outreach for Michigan Technological University (Michigan Tech) in Southeastern Michigan.
– Establish collaborations with Michigan Tech academic departments, institutes, and centers to increase funded contract revenues for all organizations involved.
– Maintain a creative environment that rewards and encourages innovation.
MTRI is a recognized leader in the research, development and practical application of sensor and information technology to solve critical problems in national security, protecting and evaluating critical infrastructure, bio informatics, earth sciences and environmental processes.
The Institute works to establish the pairing of new phenomenological (cause-effect) understandings and the development of mathematical paradigms to extract new knowledge from existing and non-traditional data sources that lets the responsible party make better decisions in the real world. It is the combination of the phenomenological model, and an understanding of the sensing mechanism that pervades the approaches being developed to more accurately and completely reflect the state of the system(s) under observation and the strength of the conclusions reached on the system's purpose and intent (future state).

Phenomenologically Driven Information Extraction
The process illustrated above captures the intimate connection between the data, information, knowledge and actions to be taken as a result of the observations/measurements. Taking into account this interaction provides unique insights into the processing approaches that are developed to support the customer's needs. This paradigm is at the crux of the activities within MTRI.
