Key Research Areas
01
Wireless communication
Wireless communication research aims to design practical near-optimal architectures and algorithms for multi-user and/or multi-antenna communication through quickly varying propagation environments.
04
Sensor networks
Research in sensor networks combines sensing hardware with theory to solve spatial inference and control problems ranging from inventory control to national security with practical aspects such as limited processing capability, limited energy capacity and utilizing renewable energy sources.
07
Signal processing
Research in signal processing develops classical and artificial intelligent / machine learning based algorithms for signal processing targeting diverse applications in the areas of diagnostic medical imaging, national security (image and video processing), electronic warfare and vital signs (EEG, ECG, …) signal processing for diagnostics and health monitoring.
02
Information theory
Information-theoretic results aim to characterize the fundamental limits of communications under different scenarios. This research area also includes proposing explicit schemes to achieve the characterized limits.
05
Intelligent radio
Research on intelligent radio networks focuses on developing artificial intelligent and machine learning based solutions to efficiently exploit radio resources (frequency, time, power, code and space) in evolving and dynamic radio environment such as mmWave, teraHz and visible light. The typical underlying implementation platforms uses software-defined radio modules capable of changing their operating parameters on the fly.
08
Biosensors
Research in bionsensors aims to develop body wireless sensor nodes and associated distributed signal processing algorithms to make behavioral/physiological data available in real time from field deployments.
03
Remote sensing
Research in cognitive radar, passive radar, synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and hyperspectral imaging aims to create novel operating modes, establish performance bounds, and develop algorithms for imaging, detection, tracking, and identification for applications ranging from smart vehicles to military and space applications. The research branches into the evolving areas of software-defined radar (SDR) which aims to develop and analyze methods that take advantage of the new found flexibility of software defined systems.
06
Connected autonomous systems
The research in connected autonomous systems aims at studying fundamental problems in the design, performance, and security of wirelessly networked coordinated autonomous systems such as drones and autonomous vehicles. This includes the analysis and design of varieties of suitable medium access control (MAC) techniques and the coupled effect of autonomous control and communications aspects.
