Research

My main research area is wireless sensor networks (WSN). My team has developed the first WSN-based countersniper system. The latest version is soldier wearable and not only does it localize the shooter very accurately, but it can also tell the caliber and the weapon type. A recent paper describes the system in detail. Our radio interferometric positioning approach has gained much attention and resulted in the Best Paper Award at the ACM Sensys 2007 conference. My other focus is Model Integrated Computing. Our widely used, open source software tool, the Generic Modeling Environment is a configurable toolkit for creating domain-specific modeling and program synthesis environments.
