Research Experience

1/2003 - 10/2008 Columbia University, COMET Group New York, NY

Graduate Research Assistant - Developed communication and resource management algorithms and protocols for experimental systems of wirelessly networked sensors under the supervision of Prof. Andrew Campbell.

  • MetroSense Project

    Mobile Sensing Architecture: Design of the MetroSense (WICON'06) architecture for mobile people-centric sensing. The architecture uses an opportunistic sensor networking paradigm that leverages the uncontrolled mobility of people and vehicles, providing coverage of the sensor custodians and their environments with a relatively sparse deployment of sensors. MetroSense aims to symbiotically utilize existing networking, computation and sensing infrastructure and devices (e.g., cellular phones), exploit resource asymmetry, and focus on localized interaction to contain the complexity inherent in a mobile network. We have analyzed the paradigm in the context of BikeNet (SenSys'07), a mobile sensing system for cyclist experience mapping.

    Mobile Sensor Sharing: Node heterogeneity in terms of sensing capability and variable sampling context require an adaptive approach to answering application queries. Using opportunistic in situ sensor sharing, nodes can return higher fidelity data to applications while also relaxing constraints on query assignment to mobile sensors.

    Mobile Sensor Reachability: Reliance on uncontrolled human mobility can lead to higher delay in answering queries, which may be inconvenient for delay-aware applications that need data by a deadline for it to be of greatest value. Halo (DCOSS'10) efficiently, in terms of packet overhead and mobile sensor energy, provides improved delay performance by managing mobile node interactions and applying mobility-informed scheduling to query assignment and data collection operations.

  • The Armstrong Project

    Medium Access Control: Design and analysis of q-MAC (IPSN'06) a channel access scheme to eliminate packet collisions in wireless sensor networks due to the idle channel detection delay and the hidden transmitter problem. Design, test bed implementation and evaluation of E-CSMA (INFOCOM'07), which aims to enhance the de facto state of carrier sensing-based MACs in wireless sensor networks by using low cost channel feedback combined with a learning approach to try to better predict the probability of a successful reception, on a per-receiver basis. Used TinyOS software with Mica2 mote hardware.

    Congestion Control: Experimental test bed implementation and evaluation of a congestion control framework for wireless sensor networks including CODA (SenSys'03), a set of informed rate-control algorithms, and Siphon (SenSys'05), a fidelity-enhancing on-demand overlay service. Used TinyOS software with Rene2, Mica and Mica2 mote hardware platforms. CODA TinyOS code is freely available for download from the Armstrong Project page.

    Reliable Transport: NS-2 simulation development, experimental test bed implementation and evaluation of a reliable transport protocol for wireless sensor networks called PSFQ (JSAC'05) (pump slowly, fetch quickly). Used TinyOS software with the Rene2 and Mica mote hardware platforms. TinyOS code is freely available for download from the Armstrong Project page.

    Experimental demonstration of the integration of the Armstrong Project's resilient transport components, PSFQ, CODA and Siphon shown at ACM SenSys 2004.
