Welcome to the MESL website

The Microelectronic Embedded Systems Laboratory is part of the Computer Science and Engineering department at UCSD and is led by Professor Rajesh Gupta. We are interested in most aspects of embedded computer systems and sensor networks.

Our recent research focus has been on energy efficiency at multiple levels and across subsystems (radios, processors to networking and building-scale systems). The research projects span formal foundations to real-life system design and implementations.

Prospective students who are interested in joining our lab should check out our About Us page. We are always looking for good students.


Contact Information

Please contact any of the lab members or Virginia McIlwain (858-534-3047 or vmcilwain at cs.ucsd.edu) about visting us. Our laboratory is located in the Computer Science and Engineering Building (CSE/EBU3B), room 2150. Rajesh Gupta's office is located at EBU3B Room 2120.

Our lab phone number is 858-534-9895.

To get to the CSE Building, check out these directions. After walking in, go up the stairs and make a right. We are the second door on the left, right after the classroom.
