Research Interests:

My interests lie broadly in the computer networking and distributed systems areas. My recent focus has been systems research in wireless sensor networks, with emphasis in wireless radio channel measurement and modeling, link quality estimation, routing algorithms, topology control, and programming models. I am also interested in Internet protocols and operating systems issues. In the past, I have been involved in active networking, mobile IP, and protocol design and verification research. My group develops and deploys sensor networks that address some of the grand challenges in science and engineering, including new distributed sensors for solar radiation mapping, energy and occupancy monitoring and control in smart buildings and wearable sensors for exercise physiology monitoring and modeling.
