Michael O’Grady is a Postdoctoral Research fellow within the School of Computer Science & Informatics at University College Dublin. Prior to joining the school, he worked in the software and telecommunications industries. After completing an IRCSET EMBARK postdoctoral fellowship in the area of pervasive computing, he then joined the AIC group at UCD working in the area of adaptive information. Previously he has worked on a FP5 project entitled HIPS developing a mobile tourist guide. He has published some 25 papers in international journals and conferences.
Raja Jurdak is an IRCSET Embark Research Fellow at the PRISM laboratory at University College Dublin. He received his PhD in Information and Computer Sciences at the University of California, Irvine in 2005. From 2005 to 2006, he was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of California Irvine. He is the principal investigator of an Enterprise Ireland Commercialization Proof-of-Concept Award to conduct research on wireless mesh network integration with sensor networks. Dr. Jurdak is the author of over 34 refereed journal and conference publications, a pending patent, as well as a book Wireless Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks: A Cross-Layer Design Perspective by Springer in 2006. His research focuses on application-driven networks, modeling of ad hoc and sensor networks, emerging communication technologies, underwater acoustic networks, and cross-layer design.
Antonio Ruzzelli is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the PRISM laboratory and a Senior Researcher in the Adaptive Information Cluster at University College Dublin. He received a 5-year laurea degree in Electronic Engineering at the University of Ferrara (Italy) and defended his PhD studies at the University College Dublin in 2008. His research addresses a wide range of theoretical and practical aspects of communication protocols for ad-hoc and wireless sensor networks. He authored 1 patent, 3 journal articles, 1 book chapter and over 18 peer reviewed conference papers. In Summer 2006 and Summer 2007 he spent a total of 10 months at Philips research in Eindhoven as a visiting research scientist on sensor-based medical systems. His responsibility was to develop and to test 802.15.4-based energy-efficient networking capabilities.
