معرفی
Qi Han is a Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Colorado School of Mines, with a distinguished research career spanning over two decades in wireless sensor networks, mobile computing, and distributed systems. Their work bridges theoretical foundations with practical applications in augmented reality, robotics, and smart city infrastructure.
Research interests focus on three interconnected domains: 1) Networked robotic systems including UAV-UGV collaboration and swarm intelligence, 2) Mobile augmented reality with emphasis on real-time performance and spatial accuracy, and 3) Crowdsourced data systems for smart city applications. Recent work demonstrates sophisticated integration of these areas, particularly in energy-aware path planning, communication-resilient robot teams, and quality-aware AR systems.
Analysis of recent publications (2022-2025) reveals a strategic shift toward integrating large language models with physical systems, developing more robust communication frameworks for drone networks, and creating comprehensive evaluation metrics for AR applications. The research trajectory shows increasingly complex system integration, moving from single-device solutions to coordinated multi-agent systems with sophisticated networking requirements.
- Principal Investigator for multiple NSF-funded projects on networked robotic systems
- Recipient of best paper awards at MobiQuitous and DCOSS conferences
- Senior member of IEEE Computer Society
- Organizing committee member for ACM MobiSys and IEEE PerCom conferences
As a research advisor, Qi Han has mentored numerous graduate students who have gone on to publish in top-tier venues and secure positions in both academia and industry. Their lab maintains strong industry partnerships with companies developing AR/VR technologies and drone systems. Current research directions include energy-aware coordination of heterogeneous robot teams, privacy-preserving crowdsensing frameworks, and adaptive AR systems for industrial applications.
