Mission
|
We focus on network design that will achieve the
maximum potential of networked sensors, to revolutionize
the way we observe, interact with and influence the
physical world. The major technical challenges of sensor
networks include scalable network self-organization, as
well as efficient processing of the massive amount of
spatially and temporally distributed data, under the
constraint of limited computation and communication
resources. |

Specific Projects
-
Network localization: We develop efficient localization algorithm in
which sensors collaborate with each other to
locate themselves and self-organize into a
connected network.
-
Topology discovery: We work on distributed algorithms that discover
and maintain high-order topological features
(e.g., holes not covered by sensors) or the
geometric shape of the sensor field.
- Mobility: We work on heterogeneous sensor networks that integrate mobile nodes (robots, people holding cell phones) with static monitoring sensor nodes and foster novel applications.
