Embedded Platform Lab

(2023.11.30)  We have slots for MS students in academic year 2024.

(2023.03.02) Research overview (40 minute video dubbed in Mandarin) at EPL, as of February 2023.
(2023.06.15) (new) 專題區 for student looking for a senior project and report requirements.

EPL specializes in the development of platforms for embedded system, particularly compact, wearable wireless sensors. A platform is reusable hardware and software designs that can be used to quickly construct various embedded systems.

The current active research topics at EPL include issues related to low-power system design, development tools, proximity sensing and tracking, (distributed) access control, and smart energy.
