I am a PhD student in Computer Science at the University of Virginia, studying under John A. Stankovic, BP America Professor and former chair of the department. Prior to coming to UVA, I received a BS in CS from Virginia Tech—a fierce in-state football rival (I root for whoever is behind).
My research interests lie in wireless sensor networks (WSNs), other networks (wireless, mesh, ad hoc), security, privacy, operating systems, plus anything else systems-related that I have time for. I particularly enjoy trying to solve the security challenges of resource-constrained WSNs, where many traditional methods are not efficient enough to be practical. (More details ...)
WSNs have many interesting applications, from military surveillance to volcano monitoring and tracking zebras in the wild. We're researching ways to improve healthcare for the elderly in our AlarmNet testbed. (Other projects ...)
On this site you can find more academic information, including my projects and publications. I maintain a list of conference deadlines for wireless sensor networks and related research fields.
