Notice

For potential Ph.D. students interested in a position in our lab: Due to the large number of emails, I may not be able to respond to every inquiry. Note that research topics in our lab change over time; as of December 2019, the highest priority research area is "smart health", which requires skills/interest in physiological sensing, mobile/wearable devices, sensor data analysis using machine learning, signal/speech processing, and mobile app development.

Education

  • Ph.D., Georgia Institute of Technology, May 2004
  • Diplom-Ingenieur, University of Technology Vienna, June 1998

Research

My research interests span areas such as distributed real-time systems, resource management (e.g., energy management), wireless/mobile networks, wireless sensor networks, vehicular networks, smart phone apps, and pervasive healthcare applications and systems. I direct the Mobile Computing Lab (M-Lab), where we focus on projects such as mobile applications and services, wireless networks (primarily MANETs, VANETs, mesh networks, etc.), wireless sensor networks, QoS and real-time requirements, energy efficiency, and pervasive/mobile healthcare solutions. Our group's research is funded through grants by NSF (including a 2006 CAREER award), Office of Naval Research, Army Research Office, Air Force Office of Scientific Research, Motorola (Motorola Labs and Motorola Foundation), IBM (including a 2008 IBM Real-time Innovation Award), Toyota InfoTechnology Center, and Serim Research Corporation. Further, our lab has received hardware donations from Intel Corporation, Motorola Labs, Sprint, and Google.

Between 2010 and 2012, I also served as executive board member for Notre Dame's Wireless Institute, which focuses on everything wireless, from radio technologies and protocols to wireless and mobile applications to "other" aspects of wireless communications such as social, legal, and business matters. I am also member of the Notre Dame Advanced Diagnostics and Therapeutics (AD&T) initiative at Notre Dame and the Center for Civic Innovation. More information about the M-Lab, AD&T, and the Center for Civic Innovation can be found on the links below.
