I lead the Dependable Networking and Computing research group in the Department of Computer Science at Wayne State University. Our research explores new theories, methods, and systems building-blocks for addressing dynamics and uncertainties in networked systems that invovle wireless networks, sensor networks, embedded networks, and the Internet. Presently, with support from the National Science Foundation and industry, we are especially interested in the modeling, algorithmic, and systems issues in wireless, vehicular, sensor, and embedded networks. For instance, as a part of the NSF CPS program, we investigate field-deployable mechanisms for reliable, real-time, and secure wireless networking, and we investigate cross-layer approaches to taming cyber-physical uncertainties in wireless networked sensing and control; as a part of the NSF GENI program, we develop the theoretical and systems foundations for experimentation and service provisioning in federated, networked sensing. Our work has also provided foundational components for several large scale wireless network systems including the NetEye experimental infrastructure (which has 176 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 1,200-node mote network, was the world's largest wireless sensor network and 802.11b mesh network deployed at its time). I received the NSF CAREER Award in 2011. For a brief introduction to wireless cyber-physical systems and wireless sensor networks, please check out this short video and presentation. We are looking for Ph.D. students and postdocs. |
