Research groups
System-on-Chip research group
System-on-Chip research group addresses System-on-Chip (SoC) design, tools and arhitectures. SoCs are the base of digital services and 400 billion USD business, out of which 20 billion only in the field of artificial intelligence. The group’s work covers SoC architectures, Intellectual Property (IP) blocks, design methodologies and tools, as well as software for SoC and edge computing. The main applications are video encoding, machine learning and communication algorithms. Wide range of Xilinx and Intel SoC-FPGAs are used in research projects, and the research group has also capability for ASIC implementations.
Customized Parallel Computing (CPC) group
Customized Parallel Computing group’s main research focus is on design and programming methodologies of customized parallel computing platforms and real time implementations of challenging algorithms.
Ultra Video Group
Ultra Video Group (UVG) is the leading academic video group in Finland and one of the largest in Europe. UVG is composed of over 20 experts in the field of video coding, processing, and streaming and it has over 20-year experience in conducting pioneering industry-driven research on media processing applications. UVG’s mission is to meet the needs of modern video-centric society, and it is able to implement visual data processing solutions on various platforms ranging from low-power embedded devices to highly distributed cloud environments. It has created a world-class open-source media library of visual data processing tools for a plethora of practical usage scenarios. The current application domains of interest include vision-based environment perception, hybrid human and machine vision, remote machine control, immersive communication and collaboration, intelligent vehicles and transportation, and virtual simulation environments for smart mobility and cities.
Network and Information Security Group (NISEC)
The primary objective of the Network and Information Security Group (NISEC) is to bring together expertise in education, research, and practice in the field of information security and privacy. Active since 1996, NISEC has notable achievements nationally, such as pioneering the deployment of native IPv6 in Finnish campus networks, introducing and rolling out Eduroam-based wireless roaming in Finland, forming the TREX regional Internet exchange point, establishing internationally federated research testbeds with PlanetLAB and GENI, as well as creating two successful spinoff companies. The core competencies of NISEC currently traverse four areas: Network Security; IoT Security; Hardware-Assisted Security; Privacy and Usable Security.
