A modern innovation lab with multidisciplinary research focus on the problems that need urgent solutions from disease dignosis to data compression to anything under the sun. The lab pursues a synergistic interface among the disciplines of Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Economics, Physical Sciences and Life Sciences. The fundamental and applied research carried out in the lab is aimed at technology development and commercialization, following the “lab-to-market” approach to address unmet societal needs.

The lab works on the philosophy of “using science to serve community”. Our motto is to “Invent Future”. The Lab members pursue high risk projects and believe that if “one is not failing, one is not trying hard enough”. The success of the projects is measured on practical outcomes, such as the number of start-ups and licensing agreements originated from the research projects.

In the lab, the post-docs, graduate students and undergraduate students design research projects based on their own ideas. While common for post-docs and graduate students, undergraduate students also serve as first authors in publications as they independently work on their research projects. The lab environment is extremely collaborative where technical skills and experiences are constantly shared by the lab members.
