Research Interests

My main research interests lie in pervasive wireless systems, with a focus on location-aware networking, measurement, and location privacy. Many of these problems are motivated by future inter-vehicle communication systems and transportation applications.

 

Location-Aware Protocols and Network Architecture: We are developing protocols that exploit available location information (usually from GPS) to enhance multi-hop communication and integration with the future Internet infrastructure in highly mobile networks.

 

 

 

 

 

Location Privacy: We have developed the Spatial Cloaking and Path Cloaking algorithms to sharing of location information and traces with external parties while providing strong anonymity guarantees.

 

 

 

 

Testbed Development: In my research I emphasize prototyping and experimental performance evaluation of novel ideas. To enable experimentation with mobile systems my group has developed a vehicular networking testbed linked to the ORBIT indoor grid. We have also developed mobility emulation capabilities on the stationary indoor testbed. Our work on ORBIT was also recently featured in the MIT Technology Review.

 

I have also worked on smart spaces, energy-aware wireless networks, and sensor networks. For a light introduction to my privacy work take a look at these press articles.
