Research

I currently work on

Coral growth models to capture observed synchronized spawning in Acropora Digitifera using global environmental signal and local interactions. (with Charlie Boch and Dan Morse)

Stochastic growth models of Daphnia to investigate robustness of and transitions between the experimentally observed large and small amplitude oscillations in the population. (with Roger Nisbet, Bill Gurney, Bill Nelson and Ed McCauley)

Bio-inspired algorithms for communication networks via reverse engineering of biological systems.

Doctoral work based on efficient communication architectures for sensor networks. Other interests are in wireless communication theory, co-design of hardware and signal processing for high-speed communications, and detection and estimation theory.
