Biography

I am the principal investigator on a number of European/National projects in the area of embedded sensor systems and intelligent buildings space including the EU projects EnPROVE, FIEMSER and HOBNET.

I also drive a commercialization effort in the space of Benchmarking and Decomposing Utility Consumption.
Previous research affiliations include Philips research Eindhoven (NL), University of Twente (NL) and University of Ferrara (IT).

Currently, I hold a position of research fellow within the CLARITY centre, School of Computer Science and Informatics. My research involve low-power embedded sensor systems and applications of energy monitoring systems in buildings. In 2009, I lectured COMP40680-Introduction to Sensor Systems for MSc students of Computer Science.

Previous work affiliations include Philips research Eindhoven (NL), University of Twente (NL).

Teaching

Course:  GDip/MSc in Ubiquitous and Sensor Systems

Module: Sensor Syetems COMP40680 (4th year)

Academic year: 2008/08

  • The Sensor Systems module covers the basics of wireless communication for embedded systems with a special focus on low-power embedded sensor networks. The course highlights wireless sensor networks, including programming issues, system architectures, specific operating systems, distributed algorithms, and applications. The course will provide hands-on experience on wireless sensor networking. The students will finally learn how to program real sensor nodes provided by the school .
