MobileLab

MobileLab was a central hub of mobile-centric research and creative experimentation from 2007-2014. It was funded by Alcatel-Lucent, Texas Instruments, and Ericsson with support from Samsung, RIM (Blackberry) and Apple. We presented at SXSW, CTIA, and other major conferences. The lab funded Masters and Ph.D students from across the university, and they have been among the most successful ATEC and EMAC graduates, going on to work in Google ventures funded companies, working as innovation coaches at AT&T, and starting their own companies like NEX Coworking & Incubation & The Runner Agency.
