SyReX Systems Research on X
We are a group of computer systems researchers in the Computer Science and Engineering department at the University of South Carolina.
SyReX (Systems Research on X) is an extensible name for our research group. X represents our focus, and currently, X = Wireless Networking, Mobile Computing, and Machine Learning.
About Us
Internet-of-Things (IoT) systems play an integral role in our daily lives. We are currently witnessing an explosion of the IoT ecosystem, which includes not only smartphones but also the smart, ubiquitous objects embedded with communication, computation, and sensing capabilities.
Emerging IoT systems — autonomous vehicles, immersive virtual and augmented reality, tactile internet, holoportation, telesurgery, smart connected buildings — promise to automate human lives at unprecedented levels this decade. Such systems rely on two critical foundations:
- Next-generation wireless network architectures that can serve billions of devices with wire-like connectivity, reliability, and resiliency.
- Ubiquitous sensing techniques that enable objects to be “truly smart” by understanding and interpreting ambient conditions and micro-activities with high precision.
Our research team is building both. We design, develop, and deploy experimental, data-driven computational and deep learning models to extract intelligence from wireless signals, which in turn enable ubiquitous sensing modalities and high-resilience, high-performance networks. Through these works, we contribute to both basic computer science and engineering research as well as research in healthcare.
