POSTECH EPIC Lab

Welcome to EPIC LAB at POSTECH EE

Embedded Processor & Intelligent Computing (EPIC) LAB is a research group in the department of Electrical Engineering and in the department of Semiconductor Engineering at Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH), Pohang, Korea. With enthusiastic members, EPIC LAB enables the optimized HW/SW building blocks in modern application-specific embedded processors for various intelligent computing workloads. 

Our research interests cover cross-disciplinary topics including algorithms, architectures, and system-on-chip (SoC) designs. Currently, we are focusing on developing the advanced deep learning processor for on-device AI processing, the high-performance baseband processor for next-generation communications, and the energy-optimized IoT platform for human-centric applications.
