Participated Projects

• Cyber Physical Systems: Managing Loosely Coupled Networked Control Systems with External Disturbances (2010.09~2012.08). This project is led by IIT Computer Science Professors, Xiang-Yang Li and Shangping Ren, together with two IIT Engineering faculty from the Department of Civil, Architectural, and Environmental Engineering and the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering. The award is a three-year National Science Foundation Expedition grant totaling $750,000, which is one of the 20 large and medium CPS projects funded by NSF in 2010. Our aim is to advance wastewater processing engineering procedures by taking advantages of available cyber technologies that can provide not only sufficient real-time accurate data collected from ground-based sensors, but also physics-based climate simulations to effectively predict the impact from nature on the wastewater processing.

• Cognitive Radio Networks (2009.01~2011.12). This project is led by Dr Xaing-Yang Li and is supported by National Science Foudation. In this project, we develop, design, and implement efficient wireless network protocols for better spectrum utilization and study some fundamental performance bounds for networks with opportunistic spectrum utilization.

• Activity-aware Sensor Network for Smart Environments (2009.10~2012.09). SmartHome Project is led by Dr Wen-Zhan Song from Georgia State University, and is supported by the National Science Foudation. A smart environment contains many highly interactive and embedded devices (such as wireless sensor network) as well as the ability to control these devices automatically in order to meet the demands of the environment. The goal of this project is to imbue such wireless sensor networks with cognitive capabilities and context awareness that will allow them to act in a more intelligent manner. We use machine learning techniques to recognize activities that are being performed in the smart environment. This context information will then be conveyed to the network to allow sensor nodes to intelligently decide when to sleep, when to wake up, and how to route information.

• GreenOrbs (2009.04~present). A long-term kilo-scale wireless sensor network system in the vast forest. GreenOrbs realizes all-year ecological surveillance in the forest, collecting various sensory data including temperature, humidity, illumination, and carbon dioxide titer. The collected information is utilized to support various significant applications, such as forest surveillance, forestry observation and research, fire risk evaluation, and succor in the wild.

• TelosCAM: Intelligent Networked Sensor-Camera System (2011.04~present). Camera Sensor Network for Stolen Properties Monitoring and Tracking.
