To prospective students:
We have two RA positions for Ph.D. students for Spring 2008 or Fall 2008. The students are expected to work in the area of wireless sensor networks, on both theoretical and practical topics. For a flavor of our current research, you can take a look here. The students are expected to be highly self-motivated, and have

• sound mathematic (probability and statistics, signal processing, optimization, or control theory) background, OR
• outstanding hardware design experience or software programming skill.
