Biography
Dr. Brano Kusy earned his Masters degree in Computer Science at Comenius University, Bratislava, Slovakia in 2002 and his PhD degree in Computer Science at Vanderbilt University, Nashville, USA in 2007. He co-developed and co-deployed a number of large scale WSN systems, including numerous deployments of a counter-sniper WSN system, and his main research focus was on algorithms to coordinate wireless sensors in time and space.
Dr. Kusy worked with Prof. Leo Guibas as a postdoctoral scholar in the Computer Science department at Stanford University between 2007 and 2009. His research focused on low-latency delivery of sensor data to mobile users, discovery and utilization of mobility patterns in urban environments, and information discovery and brokerage in WSNs, with a specific focus on camera sensor networks.
He moved to ICT Centre in Brisbane, Australia in 2009 where he works as a senior research scientist. His current research interests include improving reliability of network protocols through diverse radio links, including delay tolerance in sparsely connected WSNs; extraction of social network structures from contact logs and location traces of mobile entities, monitoring and classification of animal species using multimedia WSNs; and low-power localization and synchronization techniques.
