I lead the Dependable Networking and Computing research group in the Department of Computer Science at Wayne State University. Our research focuses on foundational and systems issues in designing dependable services for dynamic, large scale networked systems (such as wireless networks, sensor networks, and the Internet). Examples of our work include application-adaptive messaging, reliable and real-time communication, and scalable dependability in large scale, dynamic networks. Presently, we are especially interested in the modeling, algorithmic, and systems issues in wireless and sensor networks. As a part of this effort, our work has provided dependable services for several large scale wireless network systems including the NetEye experimental infrastructure (which has 130 IEEE 802.15.4 nodes and 15 802.11b/g nodes) and the DARPA sensornet project ExScal (which, with its 200-node 802.11b mesh network and 1,000-node mote network, is the world's largest wireless sensor network and likely the largest 802.11 mesh network deployed so far).
