MINT Research Group
The MINT (Mobile Intelligence and Networking Technology) research group is headed by Prof. Pengfei Zhou, who is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Informatics and Networked Systems, School of Computing and Information at the University of Pittsburgh. MINT is focusing on cutting-edge technologies in mobile and networked systems. We are particularly interested in technologies and ideas that help human beings better sense and interpret our physical world so as to develop human-centered applications.
