About the Group
Be it Smart-home or Smart-city, Intelligent-transportation or Industry-4.0, Precision-agriculture or Smart-healthcare - each of these abstract concepts and many other related ones primarily aim to accomplish the fundamental goals of improving our lifestyles, optimizing the usage of natural resources, and thereby ensuring a better future. The prominent pillars enabling the realization of the above-mentioned concepts are - Internet-of-Things (IoT) and its precursor, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). In Decentralized and Smart Systems Research Group (DSSRG), our primary vision is to enable these technologies to integrate a large number of heterogeneous intelligent devices and make them collaborate efficiently and smartly, employing AI/ML-assisted strategies as and where needed to solve real-world problems. We brainstorm, design, develop, and test efficient communication protocols, smart and decentralized algorithms, as well as build the full system. Finally, we evaluate them in sync and even against the state-of-the-art solutions.
Open positions
