My research covers both theoretical and practical aspects of wireless communication protocols,
network security, fault tolerance, and embedded systems. I participated to the development of the first 3G UMTS prototype through the ACTS FRAMES project. I developped secure multicast protocols for dynamic groups over wired, wireless, and ad hoc networks

| Resource Efficient Heterogeneous Wireless NetworksThis project aims at developing a set of protocols that are aware of resouce usage. The proposed protocols make use of the physical layer flexibility such as modulation, coding, transmission power level in choosing adequate paths and communication parameters. We are building a platform for evaluating the performance of such protocols in a real-life environment. Other desired properties are scalability, robustness, and security. The platform allows a fair simulateneous comparison of multiple protocols within the same physical environment ... Secure Multicasting and Location Sharing This project addresses the security issues related to the efficient acquisition and dissemination of time varing information. This information relayed over a heterogeneous wireless network. This relaying process needs to provide service right authentication, confidentiality, integrity protection of data, and identity privacy... Smart Internetworked HomesThe goal of this project is to develop a HW/SW middleware platform for Internetworking Smart-Homes. The plateform allows fast development of home/person centric applications in a in an oblivious way to the underlying technologies.
It also provides security and resiliency to devices failures... |

SWARM: Secure Wireless Ad hoc Robots on Mission (Senior Honors Seminar).
This course exposes the students to the concepts underlying the design of robust and secure heterogeneous wireless networking of mobile robots (i.e., Internetworking, Security, Wireless Communication, Embedded Development, Mobile Phones Platforms). The course is mostly laboratory oriented with the goal of designing, and building rescue-mission oriented heterogeneous wireless systems operating in adversarial environments...
