The Pervasive Computing Lab at UMDearborn

The Pervasive Computing Lab is a hub of advanced research in cloud, mobile, edge, and vehicular computing. Our work encompasses the creation of efficient systems and innovative applications within pervasive computing and IoT. Underpinning our efforts is a profound belief that technology must be harnessed not merely for its inherent fascination, but for its transformative potential to substantially elevate the quality of human life and societal well-being.
