Name: Adrian Peter
Title: Associate professor of mathematics and systems engineering and electrical engineering and computer science (joint appointment); director, Center for Advanced Data Analytics and Systems (CADAS)
Department/College: Department of Mathematics and Systems Engineering and Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science/College of Engineering and Science
Current research funding: $2.19 million
General research focus: Our Multi-domain, Multi-sensor, Cyber-physical Tactical Exploitation (M2CTE) project addresses a critical need for a robust analytic processing framework capable of supporting autonomous sensing and analytics on the edge – where devices and sensors collect data – with the ability to reach back to the cloud for more improvement.
What has you excited about your current research?
We have built our entire infrastructure with the immensely talented graduate and undergraduate students at Florida Tech. Their tireless efforts have led to us delivering practical and operational real-world, machine-learning solutions that make us among the global leaders in machine learning at the edge.
Why is it important to conduct research?
The objective of all research is to advance the frontiers of knowledge in a specific discipline. In my research, we are continually pushing state-of-the-art distributed sensing and edge analytics. Our results have helped transition conceptual ideas and customer requirements into operational solutions that improve situational awareness at tactical edge.
This spotlight was featured in the spring 2025 edition of Florida Tech Research.
