The Center of Interdisciplinary Science for Art, Architecture & Archaeology

(CISA3)

At the University of California, San Diego’s

Qualcomm Institute, a branch of the California Institute for Telecommunications & Information Technology (Calit2)Sponsored in

part by the National Science Foundation’s

Integrative Graduate Education & Research Traineeship in Training, Research, and Education in Engineering for

Cultural Heritage Diagnostics

Technology Engineered for Cultural Heritage

Since February 2007, the Center of Interdisciplinary Science for Art, Architecture, And Archaeology (CISA3) has played a leadership role in the use and development

of tools and techniques to digitally reconstruct and analyze the history of great works of art, monumental structures, and archaeological sites and artifacts. CISA3

simultaneously explores methodologies and solutions to document and analyze the earth’s cultural heritage of the past while pushing the technology of diagnostic

visualization into the future, training new generations of interdisciplinary experts in this emerging field along the way.
