EECS graduate student Qian Wang measures signal power while developing innovative long-range detection techniques to locate mobile improvised explosive devices.
EECS researchers continue their pioneering investigations in the fundamental structure of communication networks and network application software. Researchers focus on the architecture, design, algorithms, and protocol issues with a special focus on the middle to upper layers of the protocol stack. EECS research has produced innovative approaches to resilient networking and protocols that will permit greater spectrum sharing and more efficient use of the finite resource.
