Welcome to the Next-Generation Networking, Services, and Technologies (NEST) Research Group at IIT Indore. The research group is led by Dr. Ayan Mondal. We primarily focus on research in intelligent systems enabling network technologies, services, and applications, including Internet of Things (IoT), Edge Cloud, Software-Defined Networking (SDN), Sensor-Cloud, Edge/Fog Networks, Wireless Ad-hoc and Sensor Networks, and Game-Theoretic Applications.
If you are interested in being part of the NEST research group and motivated to contribute, please email your CV to ayanm [AT] iiti [DOT] ac [DOT] in with a detailed research proposal.
