Achievements

Publication list

Our lab encourages active research presentation by students. Undergraduates are encouraged to present at domestic confereces, and master's students are encouraged to submit their research to international conferences and journals. We have a track record of publishing high-level results in top conferences and journals, including IEEE PerCom, IEEE ACCESS, and IEEE IoT Journal.

Awards of students

Our faculty and students have a proven track record of success in academic conferences, receiving numerous awards for their outstanding research. We are proud to have received countless awards in app development contests and business plan competitions as well. Our students consistently achieve top honors, including graduating at the top of their class (2021, 2023, 2024) and receiving the President's Award (2023, 2024) on a yearly basis.
