WINK Lab

Wireless Intelligence for Networks and Knowledge

The Wireless Intelligence for Networks and Knowledge (WINK) Lab, run by Prof. Kun Qian at the Department of Computer Science, University of Virginia, aims to develop wireless technologies that enable ambient intelligence and ubiquitous connectivity with ensured interpretability, reliability, and security. Our research focuses on the following areas.

Research

AI for Wireless

Wireless signals carry rich information about communication channels and the physical world, but practical systems often have access to only sparse, noisy, and incomplete measurements. We develop AI…

Wireless Systems and Hardware

The capabilities of wireless systems depend on both how signals are processed and how they interact with surroundings. We design wireless hardware and systems that create new opportunities for…

Applications of Wireless Sensing

Wireless sensing offers new ways to understand people, objects, and activities in everyday environments. We investigate how Wi-Fi, radar, and backscatter technologies can capture human motion…
