Current Research

My research interests focus on power consumption in network systems, cluster computing, networks, and embedded systems.

Recently I have been working on ways to reduce the power consumed by networks. I am concentrating on fixed devices such as routers, switches, and decktop computers. The work includes both the hardware and the network protocols.

Another project I am interested in is the integration of GPS and inertia measurement to track moving objects like mountain bicycles. The purpose is to record the exact position of the bicycle so its movement can be reconstructed. The data could then be visualised and used for training purposes.

A project involving model airplanes is exploring ways in which inexpensive hobby type model airplanes can be used in search and rescue operations and infrastructure surveys after a catastrophe such as an earthquake or flood. Current work involves vision based atuomated landing.

I also have interests in parallel programming and networks.
