My general research interests are testing and reliability of computer systems.

My Master's research was about testing of circuits. We developed a method for testing combinational circuits using signature analysis and checking signature in a pattern that improved the test efficiency.
My Ph.D. research deals with sensor network and is part of the SensIT project in UW-Madison. One of our goals is to develop algorithms for reliable fusion of data among sensors. We studied the difference between value fusion and decision, as explained in this presentation and in the paper "Value-Fusion versus Decision-Fusion for Fault-tolerance in Collaborative Target Detection in Sensor Networks" that appeared in the Fusion 2001 conference. Currently, our study focuses on the deployment of sensor networks in a geographical region to be monitored for target detection, localization and classification. For detection applications, we defined the measure of "exposure" to evaluate the quality of a given deployment of sensor. Exposure can be defined and measured for different target activities and different topologies of sensor fields. We developed a strategy for sequential sensor deployment that minimizes the cost of deploying sensors to achieve a desired level of detection performance measured by exposure. The impact of faults on exposure is currently being investigated.
