The Wireless Networks and Distributed Systems (WNDS) Laboratory, co-directed by Prof. Nikumani, Prof. Chittaranjan Hota, and Prof. Jay Dave, focuses on pioneering research in wireless communication, distributed computing, and edge–cloud systems. The lab investigates cutting-edge topics including IoT networks, network optimization, blockchain-based distributed architectures, and resource management in large-scale systems. By combining theory, simulation, and real-world experimentation, the group aims to develop scalable and secure networked infrastructures for next-generation connectivity. A dedicated team of research scholars, JRFs, and undergraduate students collaborates on advancing the frontiers of wireless systems, distributed intelligence, and networked autonomy.
