The new Eclipse research custer includes three collaborating labs at UMBC that focus on low-level hardware design to data analytics. Current projects include wearable computing, hardware security, and human assisted computer vision.
Professor Nilanjan Banerjee’s Mobile, Pervasive, and Sensor System Lab performs research in cyber-physical systems spanning mobile systems, renewable-energy driven systems, and low power wearable sensors. It uses cross-disciplinary techniques including hardware design, software systems design, and analytics to build more usable and robust systems.
Professor Ryan Robucci’s Covail Lab develops on cooperative technolgy that explores ultra-low-power hybrid analog-digital computational systems, sensors, and hardware security. Studies of biological systems are leveraged for inspiring signal and image processing algoritghms and sensor system design for embedded aplications including robust wearable, mobile, biomedical systems.
Professor Chintan Patel’s VLSI Lab focuses on electronic design automation (EDA) for reliable digital systems and low-power VLSI design. Research on hardware security, power supply noise analysis and estimation, delay testing enables the development of secure and robust systems.
