Dear Visitor:
Welcome to Computer Architecture and Dependable Systems (CADS) laboratory website. Our researches focus on embedded machine learning, brain-inspired computing, reliability, and the internet of things (IoT). All related things to CADS-Lab, including news, publications, open-source tools, etc. are updated on this website, regularly.
CADS-Lab is located in the
Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering,
Tarbiat Modares University.
We are looking forward to hearing from you!
Important Notice (06/2022): We have one Ph.D. position in computer engineering for the students introduced by the Sanjesh entrance exam in 1401. Feel free to contact me for more info (o.akbari@modares.ac.ir).
