MSc in Engineering in Computer Science and Engineering - Networking, Operating Systems, and Distributed Systems (Wireless Networking and Mobile Computing) in Ann Arbor United States | University of Michigan Ann Arbor

At the University of Michigan, computer networks research adopts a comprehensive, system-wide perspective, spanning from mobile computing and wireless technologies to datacenter architectures and Internet infrastructure. On the front-end, our efforts focus on optimizing web interfaces and mobile applications to enhance speed and usability, while also strengthening the dependability of service infrastructures that connect users to digital resources. Our wireless and mobile networking research explores software-hardware integration, specializing in adaptive networks, cognitive radio technology, spectrum analysis, MAC/network protocols, and mobile software solutions. For data center environments, we prioritize synergistic relationships between applications and networks, developing network-aware application designs and application-sensitive networking approaches using coflows. Our operating systems and distributed systems research addresses emerging challenges across embedded devices, sensor arrays, cloud platforms, and global-scale services. Modern operating systems now permeate everyday technology, governing not only conventional computers and cloud infrastructures but also smart devices and critical systems like automotive networks and energy grids. University of Michigan initiatives explore methods to improve computer systems, data centers, and web services—making them more secure, efficient, scalable, and maintainable through innovative approaches including deterministic replay systems, redundant processing, erasure coding techniques, and application-infrastructure co-design.
