I joined CSIRO as a Senior Research Scientist in October 2008. I currently lead the Sensor Networks Research Team there. I have a PhD in Information and Computer Science at University of California, Irvine in September 2005, an MS in Computer Networks and Distributed Computing from the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at UCI (2001), and a BE in Computer and Communications Engineering from the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture at the American University of Beirut in (2000). I am also a member of the IEEE, the IEEE Computer Society, the IEEE Communications Society, and the IEEE Oceanic Engineering Society.
My current research interests include the modeling and optimization of ad hoc and sensor networks, and on applying these networks to solve real world problems. The sensor networks revolution, as I like to call it, is yet to come. While the Internet has provided pervasive interconnection of computers and devices worldwide to create the digital world, sensor and actuator networks take a step further in creating a two-way interface between the digital and physical domains.
Of course my interests are not solely focused on research, as I like to play sports (football, beach volleyball during the CA days, and any other active sport) and music (electric and acoustic guitar, as well as some piano).
