Led by Professor Zhi-Li Zhang, our lab at the University of Minnesota focuses on advancing the frontiers of computer and communication networks. We aim to transform today’s best-effort Internet into a highly reliable, available, and secure infrastructure to support diverse communication needs and emerging applications.
We tackle a wide range of research challenges in areas such as:
- 5G and NextG Networks: Performance measurement, analysis, and cross-layer design to optimize next-generation systems.
- Emerging Applications: Pioneering work on volumetric video streaming, autonomous vehicles, Digital Twins, and beyond.
- Network Architecture Design: Innovating scalable and resilient architectures to meet the demands of a dynamic digital landscape.
Our approach combines formal modeling and analysis with rigorous experimentation, implementation, and real-world evaluation.
