Brief Biography    

 

          I received BE and ME degrees from Inha university in Korea, and then obtained my Ph.D. degree in computer science from the University of Queensland in Australia. During Ph.D. study, I also visited the computer science department of Aalborg University in Denmark twice. Currently, I am a postdoctoral researcher at the distributed information systems laboratory of EPFL in Switzerland.

Projects

  • Swiss Experiment is a collaboration of environmental science and technology research projects which integrate field experiments in a common modern generic cyberinfrastructure on an unprecedented scale. This collaboration allows common acquisition technologies to be shared and encourage data sharing and preservation of knowledge through the use of a state-of-the-art data storage and processing infrastructure.

  • OpenSense addresses key research challenges in the domain of information and communication systems related to community-based sensing using wireless sensor network technology in the context of air pollution monitoring. This project will result in open technology that allows integrating diverse sensors, including mobile sensors, into a single environmental model. The information processing techniques we develop will provide important insights to enable other Nano-Tera application domains dealing with monitoring complex events.

  • PermaSense is a joint computer science and geoscience project, deploying wireless sensor networks for measuring permafrost related parameters. This project aims at developing and demonstrating a flexible, distributed wireless sensor network and data management solution, adapted to geophysical sensors with reliable and high-quality measurement systems for extreme environmental conditions.

  • MICS phase 3, we aim at developing an end-to-end architecture to collect, process, and store environmental data. Particularly, the two main objectives are: To provide the scientific community with an efficient and inexpensive out-of-the-box monitoring system based on a WSN; To develop a data management platform for reliable long-term data storage, efficient data access, and support for data analysis and data provenance.
