RESEARCH
My
research addresses models for the design, analysis and test of distributed,
real-time systems including wireless sensor networks, embedded systems, and
communication protocols. I am also
interested in practical issues of building and testing wireless sensor
networks, and have developed several sensor network applications for soil
moisture monitoring.
I work in the Wireless Sensor Networks
group, within the Mobile, Ad Hoc
and Sensor Networks group at UWA and with the Wireless Sensor and Actuator
Network group at CSIRO QCAT in
PROJECTS
I am
researching, Environmental Monitoring
of Soil Moisture with Wireless Sensor Networks, and Formal Models
of Wireless Sensor Network Protocols
A list of
research project suggestions
for PhD, Honour or Practicum students are available, with references.
