Jerome Rousselot’s Summary

I am currently involved in my PhD thesis at CSEM and EPFL on low-power communication protocols for wireless sensor networks. Wireless Sensor Networks are self-organizing networks of small electronic devices which communicate wirelessly and collect data from their environment through one or more sensors. Applications scenarios include cattle health control, environmental monitoring of fragile ecosystems, warehouse inventory, logistics, elderly care, risk management...
In particular, I evaluate the use of a novel communication technology, Ultra Wideband Impulse Radio (UWB-IR), in this framework.

Experience in embedded systems: I developed (Finite State Machine) and implemented (C) TDMA protocols on CSEM / SemTech CoolRISC microcontroller.
Experience in mathematical models and finite event simulations: design (Finite State Machines) and implementation (C++) of detailed radio models, channel models and communication protocols in the Omnet++ network simulator.
Experience in server technology: data streams processing and Java J2SE (1.4, 1.5, 1.6) platform. During one year, I was an active developper of the GSN open source software project (http://gsn.sourceforge.net) and participated to the early stages of a start-up creation.

Participations to EU research projects: Pulsers II, Cruise, ESense, Wasp.

I also have some knowledge of the publishing industry : I worked as book reviewer for O'Reilly France, and I was IT manager at a CMP subsidiary.
