The Adaptive Networked Distributed Embedded Systems (ANDES)
research group at the University of California, Merced conducts
research in the areas of computer networking and distributed
systems with focus on wireless sensor networks. Our research
philosophy is to provide solutions to
grand challenge
problems associated with building and deploying usable
systems. We guide the design of our solutions by using
data-driven approaches based on data collection of real
deployable systems. Some of our projects include:
- Sensing infrastructure to measure and model occupancy
estimation in buildings.
- New measurement tools and techniques to model the wireless
channel characteristics.
- Networked systems for measuring solar irradiance.
- Networked systems in infrastructure deficient environments
for search and rescue operations.
- Sensing systems to characterize foot pronation and other
exercise physiology pathologies.
