The HSCC laboratory focuses on cutting-edge developments in modern connectivity, covering areas such as 5G/6G wireless communications, mobile computing, the Internet of Things (IoT), and advanced UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) and LEO (Low Earth Orbit) satellite communications. Our work goes beyond theory, aiming to bridge the gap between conceptual ideas and practical deployment by designing advanced algorithms and protocols and implementing them in real-world systems. Graduate students joining the lab are expected to engage deeply with these core areas and build strong technical expertise in next-generation networking. A central aspect of their training involves active participation in high-impact research projects, including those funded by the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) and collaborative industry initiatives.

Our laboratory follows a strong “learning-by-doing” philosophy, emphasizing hands-on experience as the foundation of innovation. By implementing and experimenting with real research systems, students develop a deeper understanding of the practical challenges and complexities of the problems they address. To support this approach, the lab is equipped with extensive hardware and software resources, including high-performance GPU servers for computationally intensive tasks, as well as a wide range of PCs, laptops, and smartphones for mobile and edge computing experimentation. We are continually looking for motivated, curious, and dedicated students to join our research community and contribute to shaping the future of global communications.
