<h1 class="tighttop">blue is a Systems Research Group</h1>
<p class="lead">
<!---->
We design, build, and evaluate novel computer systems.
<!---->
We are currently working on smartphones, today's most pervasive mobile
technology.
<!---->
Our research aims to make smartphones more useful, safer, and more
sustainable.
<!---->
But our primary goal is training computer scientists and our primary
product is people.
<!---->
We try to align everything in service of that goal, which results in
putting <strong>people before projects before papers.</strong>

<!---->
<strong>Putting people first.</strong>
<!---->
Our primary job is training future researchers and developers.
<!---->
Lab members are here to learn.
<!---->
Students come up with new ideas, develop prototype systems, evaluate
them, and then communicate their results to the broader scientific
community.
<!---->
Along the way they are developing analytical and leadership abilities to
bootstrap a successful career in technology.

<!---->
<strong>Putting people before projects.</strong>
<!---->
Group members choose and lead projects that excite them.
<!---->
Projects proceed at a pace that benefits members' personal development.
<!---->
Along the way, we are careful not to miss opportunities to allow group
members to learn and grow.
<!---->
Sometimes this means development doesn't always happen as fast as
possible.

<!---->
<strong>Putting projects before papers.</strong>
<!---->
We work on interesting projects with potential for impact—not just
ones that might quickly produce publications.
<!---->
When we discover something interesting, publishing is our chance to share
it with the world.
<!---->
We don't work on projects to publish papers—we work on projects
because we're curious about what happens when we try something new.

<a href="/">blue</a> is fortunate to have a single lab large enough
to house all current group members.
<!---->
We work in
<!---->
<a href="http://www.buffalo.edu/buildings/building?id=davis">Davis Hall</a>
<!---->
Room 301B, also know as the PhoneLab.
<!---->
All group members—faculty, administrators, graduate students
and undergraduates—work side-by-side in our lab.
<!---->
This arrangement is inspired by the organization of groups like the
Berkeley <a href="https://amplab.cs.berkeley.edu/">AMP Lab</a>, as
well as the organization of typical startups and technology
companies.
</p>
<!---->
</div>
<div class="col-xs-12 col-md-6">
<!---->
<p>
<!---->
Working together allows for spontaneous collaboration and problem
solving.
<!---->
Group members are asked to be present in the lab during certain hours
to facilitate interaction.
<!---->
New members find it easy to get started since there are always more
experienced developers nearby.
<!---->
Many group discussions that take place in the lab have benefited from
being overheard by group members that were not directly engaged in the
project.
<!---->
It also just ends up being a lot of fun!
