Energy Efficient GSP Acquisition [2013 - ]
Affiliation: SICS Swedish ICT, Stockholm
Designation: Postdoctoral Fellow 
Partners: CSIRO (Australia), MSR (Redmond)
Description: The global positioning system (GPS) system is a dominant wireless technology that enables reliable location sensing for a diverse range of outdoor mobile sensing applications. Following rising demands for location sensing, low-cost GPS receivers are becoming widely available; but their energy demands are still too high to be useful for many of these applications. We are investigating into the design of a lightweight GPS acquisition mechanism.

Secure Localization for Monitoring Social Behavior and Resource Management [2013 - ]
Affiliation: SICS Swedish ICT, Stockholm
Designation: Postdoctoral Fellow 
Description: Human movement patterns are correlated with demographic and ecological characteristics. For indoor environments, existing systems mainly model human mobility and have limited provision for preserving location privacy. We are investigating into the design of a secure localization systems for indoor users.

Localization System for Training Practices in Explosive Detection [2012 - 2013]
Affiliation: Red Lotus Technologies, Seattle WA USA 
Designation: Consultant 
Description: [LINK]
Publications: Confidential.

Spray: A Pragmatic Localization System [2012 - ]
Affiliation: SICS Swedish ICT, Stockholm 
Designation: Postdoctoral Fellow 
Description: We presents Spray, a pragmatic localization system. It is pragmatic in the sense that it compensates for low accuracy in localization measurements by combining measurements from multiple localization modalities.

Reliable Industrial Communications and Sensor Networks (RICSNET) : challenges in localization and tracking [2012 - ]
Affiliation: KTH / SICS Swedish ICT 
Designation: Postdoctoral Fellow 
Description: This research program aims to develop robust and reliable ranging, localization and tracking algorithms for operation in regular and challenging environments with a focus on energy efficiency. Apart from analytical and empirical validation of the developed techniques, it will include implementation on sensor platforms (such as sensor motes and mobile phones).
