About
Overview
The SCS lab serves as a multidisciplinary research hub focused on developing innovative solutions for urban challenges and sustainable development. The lab’s key functions include conducting research in smart city technologies—such as IoT, AI, data analytics, and digital twins—to optimize urban infrastructure, transportation, energy management, and waste management. It facilitates collaboration among researchers, industry, and government to prototype and test new technologies that improve urban efficiency and sustainability. Additionally, the lab provides a "living lab" environment to pilot real-world applications, offering insights for broader implementation. The lab's potential impact goes beyond our institution by contributing to regional and national sustainability goals, enhancing urban resilience, efficiency, and quality of life. It also provides valuable hands-on training and research opportunities, supporting the development of future leaders in smart cities and sustainability. The lab’s work can position our institution as a regional leader in these fields, attracting collaborations, funding, and recognition from local and global stakeholders.
