Research
I am currently a James Martin Research Fellow in the Institute for the Future of Computing. I am investigating how to localize people, animals and objects in challenging environments, such as underground or indoors, where technologies like GPS fail. Key to this is the use of magneto-inductive tracking and communication. This has been applied to monitoring animals in their underground habitats, allowing for the first time detailed reconstruction of animal trajectories in their underground burrows. This was presented at the ACM SenSys 2010 conference in November 2010, along with the group paper outlining our deployment experiences.
I also worked on the WildSensing project, which used wireless sensor nodes to monitor badger behaviour. My work is typically cross-disciplinary, and one interesting avenue of research was automatically evolving code for distributed computing. This used a computational analog of a biological process, termed a discrete Gene Regulatory Network (dGRN). This work has been presented at IEEE InfoCom 2010, and an extended version published in the Computer Journal. I obtained my PhD from the University of Cape Town, South Africa in 2008 researching the design and implementation of a wildlife tracking system, using heterogeneous wireless sensor networks.
