Research
My group studies how networked devices at the edge can communicate what matters for a decision, rather than every bit that is sensed, and how to make that communication dependable across terrestrial, aerial, vehicular and underwater settings.
Research Themes
Task-Oriented & Semantic Edge Communication
Transmitting task-relevant semantic content instead of raw data over ultra-low-bitrate links such as LoRa, with on-device inference on embedded accelerators.
6G, NTN & Vehicular Networks
Trust, latency and resource management for V2X over terrestrial and non-terrestrial networks, network slicing and 3GPP standardisation.
UAV & Flying Ad Hoc Networks
UAV path planning, trajectory control and dynamic positioning to extend coverage and support resilient post-disaster communication.
Internet of Underwater Things
Energy-efficient MAC protocols, AUV-aided clustering and data collection, and CoAP-based reliable communication in underwater sensor networks.
Ambient Sensing & Activity Recognition
Human activity recognition with ambient binary sensor networks and multi-sensor health monitoring.
Information-Centric Networking
Content retrieval, interest forwarding and privacy in named data networking for IoT and vehicular systems.
