EMPLOYMENT

I have more than 30 years of professional experience in academia, researchinstitutions and industry in the field of communications, signal processing, computer and communication networks, wireless communications and wireless sensor networks, non-binary CDMA systems for secure communications, mathematical modelling and design of communication systems and devices based on classical methods and methods of artificial intelligence. Strong background in these fields in their recent developments changed the focus of my research interests to teleperception systems that will lead to the virtual teleporting as an integral part of ubiquitous computing characterised by high mobility and high embeddedness. This focus on new and future developments requires interdisciplinary inputs from computer and mathematical sciences, physics, artificial intelligence, biology, chemistry, alongside with advanced expertise in wireless communications and digital signal processing theory and practice. Thesenew research fields require the latest technologies and research activities to develop new and advanced interdisciplinary ideas and related technologies that could lead to industrial applications.

RESEARCH COMPETENCE

PREVIOUS AND CURRENT RESEARCH INTERESTS

Cognitive, cooperative and collaborative radio systems and networks Methods of artificial intelligence in detection and coding theory (neural networks and support vector machines) Protocols and data processing and presentation in wireless sensor networks Energy efficient methods and algorithms in wireless systems and networks OFDM systems and DSSS/CDMA systems based on binary, non-binary and hybrid spreading sequences Synchronisation in multiuser systems Systems and networks for secure communications based on non-binary CDMA technologies Digital signal processing of audio and video signals Coding and information theory, classical codes, iterative and distributed coding and decoding.

CURRENT INDUSTRY ORIENTED RESEARCH PROJECTS

Internet, medicine – Design and development of teleperception devices that transform the touch and smell into electrical signal and vice verse by using similar principals applied in electronic noses and in teletaction systems Building and construction industry – Wireless sensor networks for buildings and constructions monitoring, data collection/processing and presentation at any location Oil Industry – Energy efficient wireless sensor networks for environmental monitoring Civil Engineering – Wireless sensor networks for smart loggers for soil content measurements (moisture etc.) Mining Industry – Anticipative expert maintenance systems (heavy machinery supervision and maintenance) Medicine– Wireless sensor network for remote patient monitoring Cattle Breeding – Wireless Sensor Network Design for Rumen Sensors

– Wireless Sensor Networks for Methane Monitoring Wireless Industry – Hardware/software co-design of devices for wireless networks

– Power efficient devices based on fading mitigation – FPGA/DSP test-bed design for CDMA/DSSS systems

CURRENTAND FUTURE RESEARCH ACTIVITIES

My research activities conducted in the past resulted in the development of new research fields encompassing computer and communication technologies with discrete time stochastic signal processing and relaying heavily on advancements in mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, seismology and artificial intelligence. Computational intelligence in communication systems and networks The future development in communication theory and practice will incorporate applications of distributed and adaptive algorithms and their implementation at the physical and higher layers of communication protocol stack. For this reason I plan to continue my research

S.M.Berber CV 8

activities in the area of applying methods of artificial intelligence in detection and coding theory in wireless communication systems, as well as in communication systems that will be used as a base for teleperception systems. Ubiquitous computing technology – New embedded and distributed computer and communication technology developed in the form of wireless sensor and actuator networks leads to the development of ubiquitous computing that is pervasive but not intrusive. These networks, like currently developed wireless sensor networks at Auckland University, will be designed as an integral part of existing computer and communication networks that will make available, at the final instance, an enormous number of invisible wirelessly connected computers to a single user. Magnetic Induction Communications – These new communication network technologies, which are based on magnetic induction and can work in environments where electromagnetic radiation is inefficient, will have major impacts on communication for health, mining, engineering, finance, emergency services, military and information and communication industries. These networks are expected to be an integral part of wireless sensor networks contributing to the development of ubiquitous computer technologies. Teleperception and virtual teleporting systems – Systems for the transmission of a human perception about objects and environment at unlimited distances, called teleperception system, will lead to the development of systems for virtual teleportation of objects where these objects are represented as a collection of different perceptions. Thus, human’s perceptual experiences at the distance will depend on transmitted stimuli which will arrive at the human’s various sensory organs, cause changes in human’s mental states, and make the basis for rational thinking and conclusions making about the remote objects and environment. This research is interdisciplinary in nature, where communication theory, biology, chemistry, computer sciences, mathematics, physics, and the theory of artificial intelligence are extensively used, which will open a vast range of applications like: broad-band WEB teleperception, broadcast teleperception, complex environmental monitoring, entertainment, marketing, industry automations, medicine, sport, space research and earth sciences, military applications and security systems.

TEACHING

COURSES LECTURED

After my appointment as a Lecturer at the University of Auckland in 2001, I lectured 8 UG courses (401-courses are Final Year Projects related for 3 different degrees) and 5 PG courses (including a Study Course for 4 different topics), as shown in Table 1. Iintroduced and organized a new course in Sensor Networks in 2010, which is structured to be an UG and PG course. For all these courses I developed my own teaching material. According to the University policy all the courses are shared at least between 2 lecturers. Thus, for each course mentioned I was sharing the course content and the load with one/two of my colleagues. During my PhD studies I was appointed Senior Tutor in the ECE Department and was responsible for tutorials for a number of 2nd, 3rd and 4th year courses (in total 11 courses), as summarised in Table 2. I also supervised 4th year projects and co-supervised ME students research. I was responsible for organising, executing/supervising and marking the Tutorials, Laboratories and Project work of students. For these courses Iprepared tutorials’ solutions and developed Laboratory Manuals that contained the theoretical background of the Laboratory exercises and results of measurements. During this tutorship I supervised/co-supervised: 3 ME students, 3 MESt projects and 7 Final year projects.
