The SMT team is dedicated to basic and applied research, primarily related to the study of sound, image, and communication technologies, producing cutting-edge knowledge in these areas. Currently, the laboratory also conducts several research projects that incorporate Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques applied to the areas of public health, epidemiological surveillance, and industrial monitoring in the oil sector.

Installed in a spacious facility, the SMT is a well-equipped laboratory. Besides featuring a lecture/presentation room and an acoustic room, it offers comfortable workspace equipped with personal computers interconnected to the SMT domain, and state-of-the-art instrumentation equipment for system development and analysis.

All SMT spaces can be used by all laboratory users, including the multipurpose room, the classroom (both by appointment), the break room with coffee and sofas for rest and socializing, among other available environments, promoting a collaborative and welcoming space for the entire SMT community.
