Abstract:
Wireless sensor networks (WSN) will become prevalent in many applications
that relate to ubiquitous computing. Integrating a large scale system based on
WSN is a challenging task that requires efficient management of hardware as
well as software resources.
Building a robust and reliable system is a must requirement for
using WSN in biomedical applications like tele-health
and health monitoring. This talks presents system level issues that must be
accounted for building a large scale low power network. The talk is illustrated
using the construction of a large health monitoring system. Also, as is
evidenced by recent industry trends, this talk will highlight how various
companies are positioning themselves to exploit this technology.
Speaker Bio:
Dinesh Bhatia is on the faculty of electrical
engineering department at The University of Texas at
His research interests include all aspects of reconfigurable and
adaptive computing, architecture and CAD for field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), physical design automation of VLSI Systems, biomedical
electronics and systems, medical devices, natural energy scavenging and,
applications of wireless sensor networks.
His recent work on wireless sensor networks operating on
scavenged energy is gaining importance in health care applications involving tele-medicine and remote health monitoring as well as in
problems related to monitoring and alleviation of wood logging in forests.
He has extensive experience in building large scale embedded and
reconfigurable systems. Some of these activities include principal designer and
investigator for RACE and NEBULA systems for Wright Laboratories of USAF,
principal investigator for DARPA funded REACT program, Co-PI on AFRL funded SPARCs program and several more. He has published
extensively in leading journals and conferences and continues to serve on
program committees of several conferences. He is a senior member of IEEE,
Computer Society, Circuits and Systems Society, Eta
Kappa Nu, and recently served on the editorial board
of IEEE Transactions on COMPUTERs. He is IEEE
Circuits and Systems society's distinguished lecturer for 2007-08.
