Most of my current research is in the areas of Embedded Systems and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). The focus of my SensE research laboratory is on:
- Sensor nodes design
- Embedded and system software development
- Energy and performance evaluation of WSN
- Battery-aware design
- Embedded web servers for Internet-based monitoring and control of WSN
- Embedded systems architecture
- Hierarchical digital signal processing architectures
- Non-invasive physiological monitoring
- Computer architecture
Past and current graduate students

- Venkatramana Reddy Revuri, graduated in 2007, Wells Fargo Financial, Des Moines, IA
- Oldrine Lewis, graduated in 2007, Sutron Corporation, Sterling, VA
- David Giessel, graduated in 2009, Poker Flat Research Range, University of Alaska, Geophysical Institute
- Daniel Peters
- Steven Kibler
- Krishnakanth Ganapuram (no-Thesis option), graduated in 2008
Some of the general instruments available in the SensE Lab
Agilent 66319D Mobile DC environment for long-term energy profiling
An environment for short-term high-precision profiling of current drain in embedded systems
Sensor nodes designed and built at UAF
A sensor board based on an MSP430F1232 microcontroller and a Chipcon CC1000 radio [Vadlamani]
(shown with accelerometer, flash memory, and temperature sensor on board)
A sensor board based on MSP430F1611 and a Nordic 2 Mbps 2.4GHz radio [Lewis]
A new self-configuring sensor board based on MSP430F2618 and a Nordic 2 Mbps 2.4GHz radio [Giesel]
PC application for displaying the data from a 3-axes magnetometer
Sensor emulator - uses one sensor node to emulate larger WSN [Vadlamani, Lewis]
Intrusion detection using the received signal strenght indicator (RSSI) - recordes and replies the RSSI for a network of Motes [Lisee, Lewis]
Energy and performance evaluation of WSN
High resolution (10 MSps) current drain measurements [Ganapuram]
Sensor node synchronization under extreme temperature conditions [Lewis]
MIPS/mW performance measurements for Texas Instrument MSP430F2618 [Giessel]
Battery-aware GPS node [Giessel]
Microcontroller and accelerometer based motion detecion for adaptive GPS nodes [Giessel]
Embedded Web Server with an 802.11 expansion board. One of the pages it serves is displayed on iPAQ screen. When a sensor node is conected to this web server it can monitor and control the operation of the entire wireless sensor network. [Revuri]
