The CoAI Lab at Santa Clara University conducts research in Hardware/Software Co-design for Intelligent Systems, including embedded AI and trustworthy system design.
Our work spans the entire AI stack, ranging from models and training/inference software to computing hardware, to enable efficient AI deployment. We also address system- and hardware-level security and reliability challenges, particularly in real-time intelligent systems.

Adaptive, resource-aware inference for LLMs and vision.
Runtime protection from hardware threats to dependable AI.
Predictable coordination from sensors to edge intelligence.
Efficient perception for remote sensing and edge platforms.
