The Department of Computer Engineering is highly concerned in achieving the ultimate target of World Ranking. Different measures are in progress to accomplish this objective and one of the measures is Quality Teaching and Research Productivity. To improve research productivity a number of research groups, having motivated faculty members in each group, have been formed at the Department of Computer Engineering. This evolving research environment attracts also encourages the students to carry out supervised research. Department of Computer Engineering has four research groups i.e.
Systems and Data Science Research Group (SDSRG) aims to promote and undertake fundamental and applied research related to machine learning, techniques of data science, Distributed Systems, Big Data Analytics, Parallel computing, Data inference and applied machine learning.
Artificial Intelligence, Robotics and Vision Research Group (AIRVRG) aims to incorporate intelligence in all its components by providing excellence in basic research. The focus of this research group is in the following areas: Human-Robot Interaction, Robot manipulation and interaction, Stochastic Systems: Estimation and Control, Image and Video Processing, and Computer Vision.
Communication, Networks and IoT Research Group (CNIRG) aims to conduct research in the following areas: Information security, Wireless Communications, Wireless Sensor Networks, Cloud Computing, Computer Networks, Internet of Things (IoT), cybersecurity & privacy..
Embedded Systems Design Research Group (ESDR) aims to specialize in real-time capabilities, communication protocols, security, and energy-optimization of embedded systems. The focus research areas are Real-Time Embedded Systems, Digital Integrated Circuit Design, VLSI Principles and Applications, System on Chip Design, Micro-electromechanical Systems and Embedded System Software Engineering.
The Computer Engg Department of NUTECH has five labs. These Labs comprehensively cover training and research needs in the fields of Systems and Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, Robotics & Vision, Communication, Networks & IoT and Embedded Systems Design etc. Details of these labs along with major equipment contained and key capabilities is mentioned below:
