Research

ATOMIC Lab conducts system-oriented research on ultra-low-power intelligent platforms spanning wireless networking, sensing, localization, and edge AI. Our work emphasizes scalability, infrastructure-less operation, and cooperative intelligence under real-world constraints.

Low-Power Wireless Networking

We investigate time-synchronized and energy-efficient wireless networking technologies for dense, large-scale, and mobile systems. Our work focuses on reliability, synchronization, and cross-layer optimization under strict power constraints.

Micro-Integrated and Crystal-Free Systems

We explore micro-integrated circuit platforms that minimize size, cost, and power consumption. A key focus is understanding and compensating for clock instability in crystal-free systems through system-level co-design.

Large-Scale Infrastructure-Less Tracking and Localization

We develop tracking and localization systems that operate without fixed infrastructure such as cameras or anchors. Our research targets large-scale environments where deployment cost and accessibility prohibit traditional solutions.
