RESEARCH ACTIVITIES

Anna Scaglione interest lies in the design and analysis of communication methods for wireless networking. Driving her current focus is the question on how to coordinate unthedered devices in self-organizing systems capable of leveraging opportunistically on the decentralized resources available to transfer and process information. This focus includes the study of bioinspired designs for network synchronization and on cooperative transmission methods that recruit network devices to support the information flow in networks, with or without an infrastructure. This line of work includes her interest in large scale sensor systems aimed at monitoring the environment and critical infrastructure. In this area she works on decentralized signal processing methods for data aggregation, decentralized control and for reaching to consensus among network devices. She also works at the level of single communication devices, innovating and optimizing signaling methods and synchronization techniques for the future generation of wireless transceivers and for unusual media and bands (e.g. HF, Power-line communications). Her work is rooted in statistical, array and digital signal processing theories, where she borrows her tools for modeling and mapping the analog world captured by circuits and sensors, into digital signatures that are amenable to be digitally processed, finding ways for extracting their intrinsic information content.
