Research Projects
The following list gives some examples of the various research projects that are currently underway in the department:
. (Recently added to this list).
The Zebra Net project is an inter-disciplinary effort to build sensor
networks
for wildlife tracking based on ad hoc sensor networks with low-power
GPS-enabled
tracking nodes. Led by Prof. Margaret Martonosi, the ZebraNet project
represents a collaboration of faculty in low-power systems, wireless
communication,
mobile networking, and wildlife biology.
We are doing some very exciting research in SAT related
areas. Our focus is mainly on EDA applications using SAT methods.
However, the results are also applicable to other fields. This
project is lead by Prof. Sharad Malik.
The Lightwave Communication
Laboratory is under the direction of Prof. Paul
Prucnal.
Macroelectronics are integrated circuits bigger than
semiconductor wafers. Flat panel displays and medical X-ray sensors
are macroelectronic products. Sensitive skin and e-textiles will
serve as human/machine interfaces, and mechantronic materials will
marry structural with electronic functions. Transcending the
capabilities of wafer based integrated circuits, these applications
will be flexible, shapeable, yet rugged. This research project is
lead by Prof. Sigurd Wagner.
Mescal stands for "Modern Embedded Systems: Compilers,
Architectures, and Languages." Our goal is to provide a programmer's
model and software development environment that allows for efficient
implementation of an interesting set of applications onto a family
of fully-programmable architectures/microarchitectures. Mescal is a
collaboration between members of UC Berkeley's CAD Group and
Princeton's Mescal Group. The project us lead by Prof. Sharad
Malik and Prof. David August (CS).
The multimedia research laboratory was made possible by a grant from
the Intel Corporation. Students working is the laboratory are using
the facilities to explore various signal processing isues for
digital images and video. Examples include, compression, water
marking, coding, video annotation and search and digital libraries.
Several faculty are involved in the project, including Prof. Bede
Liu, Prof. Peter Ramadge, and Prof. Wayne Wolf.
The main research projects in the NSL involve: Nanofabrication,
Nanoelectronics, Nano-optoelectronics, Nanomagnetics, and
Applications of Nanostructures in other fields. The Princeton
Nanostructures Laboratory operates under the direction of Prof.
Stephen Y. Chou.
NJPIT's mission is to develop and evaluate new technology for all sorts
of pervasive information systems, ranging from handheld cellphones and
PDAs to smart rooms and intelligent
information servers. NJPIT is a joint effort of Princeton EE, Princeton
CS, NJIT, and Rutgers. This project is directed by Prof. Wayne Wolf and includes Prof. Bede Liu and Prof. Vince Poor.
PARAPET stands for Princeton Architecture for Real-Power
Techniques. The main topics of our work are: Power-Efficient
Architectures - Organization and modeling techniques; Compile-time
analysis of memory referencing behavior; and applications and tools
for configurable computing. The PARAPET research group is lead by
Prof. Margaret Martonosi.
The PALMS project involves the study of the new computing platforms for
the Information Age, targeted at emerging information processing
paradigms. Our research focus is on the development of computer
architectures with integrated optimizations for multimedia
information processing and secure information processing. We are
pursuing an integrated architecture for accelerated processing of
all multimedia data types, including images, video, graphics,
animation, voice, telephony, music, and text. This project is lead
by Professor Ruby Lee.
This laboratory is engaged in investigating a variety of phenomena
and devices related to electronic materials and optics. The
laboratory is under the direction of Prof. Stephen R.
Forrest, James S. McDonnell Distinguished Professor of
Electrical Engineering.
