Research and Vision
Presently my research is centered around the development of deployable Wireless Sensor Networks for real-life applications with a focus on: i) system design, ii) MEMS technology integration, iii) enabling closed loop actuation based on multi-type sensing and sensor fusion, iv) integration of decision engines within poorly resourced WSN systems and v) field phenomena event detection and representation.
Overall, the themes above align with the drive towards the realization of deployable autonomous, unattended systems capable of large scale field sensing and actuation. I currently work on the development of real-life WSN applications from within 3 domains: building and construction industry, aerospace and healthcare.
I am hugely enthusiastic about my current research and keen to collaborate with computer scientists, engineers and application domain specialists who strive to build intelligent sensing systems or integrate MEMS with powerful signal processing.
