Research


Networking and Mobile Systems Laboratory (NMSL) utilizes expertise in mobile computing, network systems, human-computer interactions, and machine learning to build innovative mobile services & applications. To enrich the quality of life of mobile users, we (i) identify challenging real-world problems, (ii) design novel solutions, protocols, algorithms, systems, applications, software, and interfaces, and (iii) build our solutions in working systems for practical validation and deployment.

Research interests

Our current research interests could generally be categorized as follows:
    ● Mobile computing (ubiquitous computing, mobile sensing, wearable computing, AR/VR)
    ● Mobile AI/ML (learning models for mobile conditions, mobile device ML training and inference, federated learning)
    ● Mobile Human-Computer Interaction (novel interaction methods, digital health and wellbeing, human/AI interaction)
    ● Wireless networking (networking for robots autonomous wireless network management, protocols for emerging spectrum)
We are also interested in interdisciplinary, high impact research, and seek collaboration with other academic research groups, industry, and government worldwide.
