Research

My current research interests are in the areas of wireless sensor networks - localization, hardware-software implementation of sensor networks, jamming in wireless networks and multi-path routing approaches to defend against jamming.. I am also working on various aspects of body sensor networks such as ultra low-power protocol design and security and data privacy issues.
I have been using OPNET Wireless Module for simulation of communication protocols in Body Sensor Networks. More information about this can be found here

Research Projects

Sidharth Nabar and Jeffrey Vander Stoep, Design and Implementation of an IMote2 sensor network testbed . This project comprised of a network of IMote2 nodes programmed using TinyOS which was controlled from a central computer using a GUI designed in Java. The primary goals were to study the performance of various localization algorithms. For details, please visit: The Imote2 Sensor Network Testbed Project
