 Research

My research interests span areas such as distributed real-time systems, resource management (e.g., energy management), wireless/mobile networks, and sensor networks. I am leading the DARTS Lab (Distributed Adaptive Real-Time Systems), where we focus on research in the area of Cooperative Wireless Networks (CWN), e.g., as part of the SPIRIT (SPontaneous Information and Resource sharing InfrasTructure) project, which supports on-demand access to computers and sensors in the proximity of a mobile user and the Impresario project, which studies the design of wireless sensor networks.

 Personal

My wife works for Press Ganey, a company that provides solutions for managing and improving the quality of health care organizations. My son Adam keeps me busy most of the time I am not in the office. The remaining little spare time I have is spent on travel, hiking, biking, and racquetball.
