Ab dem 01.07.2013 arbeite ich nicht mehr für die FU-Berlin und ab dem 18.06.2013 nehme ich meinen Resturlaub. Meine freitägliche Vorlesung setze ich bis zum Ende der Vorlesungszeit fort! Meine Sprechstunde verschiebt sich ab sofort auf Freitag 14.00-16.00h und findet letztmalig am 05.07.2013 statt.
Somit kann ich ab sofort auch keine Abschlussarbeiten mehr betreuen und bitte von diesbezüglichen Anfragen abzusehen. Nachfragen bezgl. Campusmanagement bitte ab sofort an Frau Bahe richten.

Research Activities

I am interested in Wireles Sensor Networks (WSN), network communication, and distributed computing, with a particular focus on indoor localization for WSNs. During the last year my research focus moved from WSN routing and media access protocols to indoor localization. In our group we developed robust algorithms for position estimation and analyzed the propagation of the distance measurement error through those algorithms into the estimated position. We established the spatial error distribution as a metric to evaluate position algorithms and developed a toolchain to analyze this distribution.

Projects

• FeuerWhere (finished)
  Distributed tracking of fire fighters in cooperation with Berliner Feuerwehr and various industrial partners. The goal of the joint-project is to improve safety of rescue forces. To achieve this, we are evaluating the three key aspects: localisation, vital monitoring and data transmission. A demonstrator will be built to show the feasibility and further evaluate the solution in realistic environments.
