UNL is Nebraska’s land-grant research university and ranks among Doctoral Universities with the Highest Research Activity [Carnegie CIHE]. The University of Nebraska-Lincoln is centered in the flourishing community of Lincoln, the third largest city in the Big Ten. More information on Lincoln can be found here: https://www.unl.edu/lincoln/about-lincoln, https://placetobelnk.com/, and https://www.lcoc.com/meet-lincoln.

The CSE department has significant ongoing efforts in Robotics, IoT, cyber-physical systems, and embedded computing. The NIMBUS lab is a leader in leveraging UAS as a platform for interacting in a field environment (e.g., emplacing sensors, placing ignition spheres, water sampling, etc.) with numerous scientific and agricultural application areas. NIMBUS’ leadership and success has been built on the intersection of field robotics, control, human-robot interaction, and software engineering. The CSE department is a leader in Internet of Things (IoT) and Agricultural IoT (Ag-IoT) and also leading the Nebraska IoT Initiative; this initiative established a public-private partnership between the University of Nebraska, City of Lincoln, and a consortium of industry partners. UNL and Lincoln have partnered on major infrastructure initiatives, including a remotely accessible city-wide wireless testbed, and led to the establishment of an interlocal agency, iLNK, to bring IoT investments under a common umbrella. CSE faculty have pioneered cyber-physical systems and real-time, low-power embedded computing.
