DESCRIPTION:Dr Wen Hu will be giving a CSIC Seminar on Compressive Sensor 
 Networks and their Applications on Thursday 22 August 2013\, 4pm in LR6.\n
 \nDr. Hu is a Visiting Researcher at the Swedish Institute of Computer Sci
 ence (SICS). His current position is Principal Research Scientist at CSIRO
  Computational Informatics where he leads a talented research team working
  in pervasive information systems at Autonomous Systems Laboratory. Much o
 f Dr Hu’s research career has focused on novel applications\, low-power 
 communications and security issues in sensor networks and pervasive comput
 ing systems. He has recently become interested in the applications of comp
 ressive sensing in Internet of Things (IoT). \n\nDr Hu publishes regularly
  in top rated sensor network venues such as ACM/IEEE IPSN\, ACM SenSys\, E
 WSN\, ACM transactions on Sensor Networks (TOSN)\, proceedings of the IEEE
 \, and ad-hoc networks. Dr Hu received his PhD from the University of New 
 South Wales (UNSW)\, in Computer Science and  Engineering.  He is a recipi
 ent of the prestigious CSIRO Office of Chief Executive (OCE)\, Julius Care
 er Award (2012 - 2015) and CSIRO OCE postdoctoral grant. Dr Hu holds adjun
 ct Associate Professor positions at Queensland University of Technologies\
 , University of Queensland\, and University of New South Wales. He is a se
 nior member of ACM and IEEE\, and serves on the organising and program com
 mittees of networking conferences/workshops including ACM/IEEE IPSN\, ACM 
 SenSys\, ACM MobiSys\,  IEEE LCN\, IEEE ICC\, IEEE WCNC\, IEEE DCOSS\, IEE
 E GlobeCom\, IEEE PIMRC\, and IEEE VTC.\n\nDr Hu will speak about the way 
 sensor networks have revolutionised the way we observe the environment. In
  his talk he will introduce a few sensor networks deployed by CSIRO\, whic
 h include a micro-climate and multimedia sensor network deployed in a Nati
 onal Park and a continental flying fox tracking network. He will also focu
 s on recent work in structure monitoring with sensor networks. \n\nThis pr
 omises to be a stimulating talk tailored to CSIC and all staff/students ar
 e encouraged to attend.\n
