Recent advances in sensors, embedded devices, and wireless communication technologies have converged to enable distributed micro-sensing through sensor networks. In a sensor network, each node is capable of sensing phenomena, collecting and processing data, and reporting/routing these data back to a data sink that in turn relays it to a manager node via inter-networks.

In this project on wireless sensor networks (WSN) and embedded systems, we investigate some fundamental aspects to improve the feasibility and efficiency of the WSN, such as energy-saving and robust routing, cross-layer optimization, time synchronization, localization, in-network processing, and hardware implementation.

We have collaborations with local industry and research groups in Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Robotics in investigating the application of embedded sensing systems and/or WSN to civil infrastructure monitoring and first-responder systems.
