| Kenneth Barner | Spring 2024 |
| This research focuses on contemporary data compression methodologies to ascertain their applicability to in-vehicle data streams, particularly Chassis-CAN-Bus. We anticipate compressing these data streams and transmitting them to a backend system for mathematical reconstruction. The initiative's core objective is identifying and improving the most suitable compression techniques for vehicular scenarios. Emphasis will also be placed on quantifying the efficiency of these methodologies through compression ratio and computational complexity. Qualifications: Communications, compression, coding (Matlab, Python, C/C++, etc.). Accepting Ph.D or MS applicants |
