"The Principle of Science" -- Richard Feynman

I have been leading several R&D projects (H2020, Marie Curie ITN, German DAAD, EIT, Tekes Finland) in tight collaboration with industrial companies such as Nokia, Broadcom, Ericsson, Deutsche Telekom, Telia, Elisa, NEC and F-Secure. My latest research focus is on edge AI solutions for cyber-physical systems as reflected in the CPI open topics.

I am currently managing awarded EU project funding as Consortium Director (€5M) and Principal Investigator (€1.1M). The projects listed below illustrate my track records and research schemes, with appreciation to strong supports from EU funding agents.

• Funding: EU Horizon 2020, €4M budget (score 98/100 among 1509 proposals)
• Duration: 2020 - 2024
• Role: Principal Investigator
• This ITN project enables my group to investigate approximate edge intelligence for optimizing energy efficiency in large scale AI algorithmic processing for the vision of sustainable Edge AI.

• Funding: Safety & Security Institute, TU Delft
• Duration: 2020 - 2021
• Role: Principal Investigator
• This project focuses on building iSafe, a living lab to jointly investigate IoT safety and security, especially the hardware-software vulnerabilities of IoT. Through iSafe, we will test numerous IoT hw-sw suits and security solutions, conduct data collection, measurements, data learning (ML based), and qualitative studies in live testbed to evaluate the effects.

• Funding: Safety & Security Institute, TU Delft
• Duration: 2020 - 2021
• Role: Co-PI
• This project will systematically analyze the visible light communication (VLC) security myths and facts, and exploit the natural characteristics of light to create insights, technology, and methodologies for securing VLC networks. Through SecureLight, we will carry out live and user-centric demonstration in the Infrarium container.

• Funding: TBM, TU Delft
• Duration: 2020 - 2021
• Role: Co-PI
• The Infrarium is a mobile cyber-physical reconfigurable experimental laboratory similar to an escape room, where players experience the urgency and emotional tension involved in managing the evolution of energy infrastructures during energy transition. We aim to bring awareness of the complexity and interdependencies of energy transition, to create the experience of urgency, to support decision making under stressful situations, and to investigate how novel IoT visible light ensures data communication and interaction between simulation and users, sensors, actuators and dials.
