Intelligent Sensor Networks: The Integration of Sensor Networks, Signal Processing and Machine Learning

Dr. Fei Hu is currently an associate professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Alabama (main campus), Tuscaloosa, Alabama. He received his PhDs from Tongji University (Shanghai, China) in the field of signal processing (in 1999) and from Clarkson University (New York) in the field of electrical and computer engineering (in 2002). He has published over 150 journal/conference papers and book chapters. Dr. Hu's research has been supported by U.S. NSF, Cisco, Sprint, and other sources. His research expertise can be summarized as 3S-security, signals, and sensors: (1) security, which includes cyberphysical system security and medical security issues; (2) signals, which refers to intelligent signal processing, that is, using machine learning algorithms to process sensing signals; and (3) sensors, which includes wireless sensor network design issues.

Dr. Qi Hao is currently an assistant professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at The University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, Alabama. He received his PhD from Duke University, Durham, North Carolina, in 2006, and his BE and ME from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China, in 1994 and 1997, respectively, all in electrical engineering. His postdoctoral training in the Center for Visualization and Virtual Environment at The University of Kentucky was focused on 3Dcomputer vision for human tracking and identification. His current research interests include smart sensors, intelligent wireless sensor networks, and distributed information processing. His research has been supported by U.S. NSF and other sources.
