Welcome

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT) become critical components in bringing new paradigms in the modern world. Our primary research interests focus on the intersection of AI and sensor technologies in the areas of the next-generation millimeter-wave and sub THz wireless system, wireless power transfer, electromagnetic-wave imaging system, vehicle-to-everything, adaptive RF front-ends, system-on-package, and biomedical electronics. Members in the lab will be equipped with knowledge, problem-solving skills, and hands-on experience through intensive research activities. Motivated graduate and undergraduate students are welcome to contact us.

Opening a PhD student position

ISWS-lab is looking for a self-motivated graduate student. If you are interested in the position, please contact Dr. Jeong at shjeong@eng.ua.edu.
