Embedded computing systems, smart cameras, multimedia, VLSI systems, biochips.

Embedded computing systems underlie our modern society. Fundamental design methods underlie systems ranging from cell phones to electric power grids. We are developing methodologies that can be used by a broad range of designers to create real-time, low-power, low-cost systems. As driving examples, we are developing distributed smart cameras that analyze complex scenes in real-time using peer-to-peer architectures.

We are working on distributed smart cameras that can cooperate to understand scenes in a very large area such as a building or a city.  We are also working on methods for reliably characterizing the performance and power consumption of embedded systems.

Georgia Tech is a great place with a lot of outstanding researchers and great facilities. Georgia is also a great place to live.
