Researcher

Research Interests

Dr Boulis’s research interests include networked embedded systems (primarily wireless sensor networks), and pervasive computing applications. More specifically, in networked embedded systems, he is interested in global-level programming models and distributed algorithm methodologies that promote robustness and expose energy/fidelity/delay trade-offs. He is also interested in pervasive applications and wireless sensor network applications where the challenge is utilising existing technology and innovating in system design to build viable systems that address real problems.

Short Bio

Dr Boulis joined NICTA on September 2004. Prior to this he was a PhD student at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), where he was conducting research on wireless sensor networks under the supervision of Professor Mani Srivastava.  Dr Boulis worked as a Graduate Research Assistant and Graduate Teaching Assistant during his graduate studies and was a member of the NSF-founded Center for Embedded Networked Sensing (CENS). His undergraduate studies were completed in the Electronics and Computer Engineering dept. at Technical University of Crete, Greece.

Projects

Dr Boulis is leading the Macro-programming for Wireless Sensor Networks project in NICTA. He is also the lead developer of Castalia: a simulator for wireless sensor networks.
