Research
My research interest spans the areas of cognitive, self organised,
opportunistic networks and systems that are agile and adaptive to users'
demands and dynamic patterns of the underlying mobile ad hoc communications.
End devices are capable of learning, predicting the patterns of
behaviour of other devices and resources, and dynamically sharing the
resources.
I am interested in a number of open research questions such as improving
energy efficiency, designing new and more efficient data dissemination and
routing protocols and new adaptive security and privacy techniques for data
tranmission in such enviroments.
I lead the
Wireless Ad-Hoc Networking
Research Group (WANRG) that investigates the issues of energy efficiency,
congestion control and reliability in large scale fully distributed
opportunistic self organised networks.
