Information for Prospective Graduate Students
My research interests include operating system, network, and
language support for large-scale distributed systems. My current
research focuses on wireless sensor networks,
with an emphasis on high-level languages and programming models. My group
is developing sensor network platforms for applications such as
medical care and
monitoring
volcanic eruptions.
I head the Harvard Sensor
Networks Laboratory.

Bio: I have been on the faculty in Computer Science at
Harvard since 2003. I received my M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from UC Berkeley (1999 and 2002).
Following my Ph.D. work I spent one year as a visiting researcher
at Intel Research Berkeley.
I received my undergraduate degree from
Cornell University (1996).
