[Tccc] Summer 2010 Position Available: Wireless Protocol Research for Radio Tomography

The Sensing and Processing Across Networks (SPAN) Lab at the
University of Utah is seeking qualified individuals to research and
develop innovative wireless network protocols for radio tomography.
This is a paid position that will run approximately from May through
August 2010. Compensation will be dependent on the qualifications and
experience of the applicant.

Radio tomography is a 'device-free' localization method that uses
standard wireless sensors to image, locate, and track movement of
people in the area of deployment. The technology is compelling -- a
demo won the student research competition at MobiCom 2008, and several
popular press articles have appeared (The Economist, Wired, Der
Spiegel). More information is available at:

This summer project will implement and deploy specialized protocols
for radio tomography networks which scale to large areas and large
numbers of sensors for large-scale commercial applications. This
position entails the research, design, and deployment of such a
protocol. Individuals with one or more of the following skills are
encouraged to apply.

* TinyOS and NesC
* Wireless networking
* RF sensors and hardware
* Distributed source coding

If you are interested in this position, please email (with "SPAN
Summer Position" in the subject) your resume/CV, including references,
