• Tools and and middleware services to support network-wide programming and resource management, along with concurrent execution of multiple WSN applications. This ongoing effort resulted in the development of the Ambiance Platform for WSN macroprogramming in collaboration with the Ambiance project at the University of Luxembourg.
• Illinois SHM Project: distributed sensing for structural health monitoring of civil infrastructure. This is a joint venture between OSL and Smart Structures Technology Laboratory in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering.
• As part of the NEST project at OSL, my past work also includes cooperative target tracking, acoustic ranging and localization, and distributed sensing and aggregation.
