Areas of Research Interest

Communication systems and information theory, with applications to wireless sensor networks and other autonomous systems.

My students are presently pursuing systems research on a variety of projects related to wireless sensor networks. In particular, students are researching a variety of tasks related to understanding fundamental information theoretical limits, and energy-efficient design of sensor nodes and systems. Students will typically develop algorithms and perform analysis and simulations, and often also interact with other graduate and undergraduate students performing the hardware implementation. This may also include design of experiments to gather the necessary data on the physical situation.
