  Thesis: Actuation-Assisted External Calibration of Distributed Sensor Networks
  (done at NESL)

Research Interests: My current research fuses several aspects of wireless sensor networks, namely localization, mobility, and vision. The goal of the project is to develop a vision-based self-localization algorithm for a network of camera nodes. To this end we have created a robotic pan-tilt platform for the Cyclops camera module and hope that this will yield improved results over prior research in this space. Previously, I have worked on security in sensor networks (hardware fingerprinting) and urban sensing applications.
