Research
Wireless and Mobile Communications
- Next Generation (NextG) wireless and mobile systems will provide enhanced data flow, communications, analytics, and automation for our connected world. Our research explores signal processing methods, transmit/receive techniques, radio communications, spectrum utilization, and mobile edge computing for NextG systems. We build AI autonomy to support systems' security, reliability, and adaptability.
Internet of Things
- NextG network systems will connect billions of heterogeneous Internet of Things (IoT) devices. The IoT perceives the physical environment, enables machine-to-machine communication, and provides low-latency computational and storage resources for smart cities, modern transportation, public health and safety, and defense. Our research focuses on energy-efficient communications and data analytics for IoT, and IoT reliability and security.
Artificial Intelligence Applications
- Deep neural networks harness advanced algorithms, big data, and the computing power of modern digital systems to enable machines to learn quickly and accurately at scale. We apply Artificial Intelligence (AI) deep learning to autonomous driving, drug molecule discovery, and industrial automation.
