About Us

The Smart Mobile Computing (SMC) research group is led by Principal Investigator Dr. Imad Mahgoub, the Tecore Endowed Chair Professor, in the College of Engineering and Computer Science. The SMC group conducts research in wireless sensor networking, mobile computing and networking, and their specializations such as vehicular networks, body nets, and supporting applications and platforms. Our research is generously funded by NSF as well as our industry partners and sponsors.

Tecore Networks has funded the Tecore Networks Lab, home to our researchers and had donated a GSM and CDMA Mobile Switching Center, Cellular Base Station and network ancillaries to be used for training and research projects.

The Smart Drive research team, in conjunction with tkLABS Technology Solutions, has created an IEEE 1609-enabled Vehicular Multi-technology Communication Device (VMCD) and vehicular testbed with capabilities that enable both vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communication supported by NSF MRI Grant #1229616.
