Connecting Intelligence Sustainably

About Lincs Lab

At Lincs Lab, a premier research facility at École Polytechnique Montréal, we conduct leading-edge research in the design and evolution of next-generation communication networks, with a focus on the convergence of communications, artificial intelligence (AI), and security.

Our work addresses the core challenges of , ultra-high-speed connectivity, diverse data types, and latency-critical applications, while tackling complex requirements around real-time orchestration, resource efficiency, and network resilience.

Research Priorities at Lincs Lab

 

  • Next-Generation Networks, AI-Native Orchestration and Security:
    We focus on AI-native approaches to dynamic resource orchestration, adaptive service provisioning, and end-to-end security in evolving architectures such as 5G, 6G, and beyond. Our work supports secure and reliable connectivity for Autonomous Systems,  Digital Twins, Industrial IoT (IIoT) applications.

  • Federated Learning and Frugal Edge Intelligence:
    We develop scalable, privacy-preserving learning techniques tailored for the edge. Our research tackles key challenges in data heterogeneity, limited compute environments, and secure collaborative learning, enabling intelligent decision-making closer to the user while minimizing resource consumption.

  • Quantum Computing and Quantum Communications:
    We explore how quantum technologies can redefine communication and computation. Our research includes quantum-enhanced security, quantum machine learning, and quantum optimization, for resource allocation,  for autonomous agent planning, prediction and preemptive control, and for the security for next-generation networks.

At Lincs Lab, we are not just keeping pace with technological evolution, we are shaping it.
