Welcome to Mobile Embedded Systems (MES) Lab!
MES Lab is directed by Prof. Sangeun Oh. Our lab aims to uncover practical challenges embedded in people's daily lives and develop edge computing technologies to address them, thereby creating innovative and useful user experiences (UX). To this end, we conduct research in three key directions, as outlined below:
Multi-device / multi-app collaboration for mobile IoT
System-level optimization for on-device AI
LLM-enhanced interaction for mobile IoT
We are looking for enthusiastic researchers (B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. students)
