About the COSS Lab

The Computational Optimization and Smart Systems (COSS) Lab was established when Dr. Weihang Zhu moved from Lamar University to University of Houston in Fall 2018. The lab is located in SR2-535 and SR2-552 in the Central Campus and SAB1-314 in the Sugar Land Campus, co-located with the new labs in fabrication, additive manufacturing, mechatronics, and automation. As of November 2024, our lab is currently funded by eleven federal grants from NSF (3), USDA (3), EPA (1), NASEM (1), OESI (1), Department of Education (1), NIH (1), one industry grant from Halliburton, and two UH internal grants.
