Another PhD from CISTER’s ranks

CISTER Researcher Vikram Gupta successfully defended his PhD thesis at the Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, USA, on Oct 13th 2014, under the Carnegie Mellon-Portugal dual PhD program. The thesis, entitled “On the Optimization of Multiple Applications for Sensor Networks”, was supervised by Prof. Eduardo Tovar (CISTER/INESC-TEC) and Prof. Raj Rajkumar (CMU). The committee was also composed by Prof. Peter Steenkiste (CMU), Prof. Anthony Rowe (CMU) and Prof. José Silva Matos (FEUP).

For Vikram, this was a the pinnacle of a research path developed between Pittsburgh and Porto in the past 6 years, during which a number of seminal results were published in top-venues in the area of real-time embedded systems and wireless sensor networks, including a best paper award at the prestigious ACM SenSys conference.
