Today, our phones, televisions, refrigerators, and more can send, receive, and act on data. This interconnection via the Internet of computing devices in everyday objects is called the "Internet of Things" (IoT).
Cyberphysical systems (CPS) include the interconnection of IoT, but place an emphasis on integration with physical processes and real-time responses. Think self-driving cars and automated medical equipment.
SCI faculty conduct research on CPS and IoT to improve how these devices function and ultimately how they can better help people and communities.
Research Highlights
The paper by Assistant Professor Longfei Shangguan and his interdisciplinary research team introduces Asclepius, a novel medical device that repurposes recycled earphones as digital stethoscopes to enhance remote healthcare.
For Dr. Biehl, technical rigor and the usability needs of the people operating a system are not separate considerations. They're two organizing principles to how he approaches his research.
