My research work at Intel Research Berkeley with
Dr. Wei Hong and at IBM Research Zurich with Dr. Francoise Dolivo was on a
distributed network of sensors – Sensor networks. Sensornets (Sensor networks) have evolved and
are being deployed in vehicles (BMW 700 Series with 82 processor networked via
the CAN -- Car Area Network), ships (BP cargo ships for monitoring engine
vibration and temperature), habitat monitoring (Great Duck Island, CA),
Structural monitoring (Golden Gate Bridge, CA), temperature monitoring (HP Labs
data centre, Palo Alto, CA). My research with Dr. Wei Hong focused on applying
the parallel computing algorithms to the Sensornet to improve the performance (data throughput, interactivity,
and accuracy) of application while considering the new set of constrains
posed by the Sensornets – power
consumption and channel contention.
