Our group is called CRISP - Communications Research in Signal Processing. CRISP started at Cornell University in 2001 and has moved at UC Davis in 2008. Prof. Anna Scaglione is the director. We use tools of system theory, digital and statistical signal processing, communications and information theory to investigate algorithms that solve network problems and to perform inference on network signals.

Current Projects

Cooperative transmission

Large scale cooperative networks analysis

Over the horizon HF network MIMO

Decentralized processing in networks

Gossiping protocols and network flows

Network control and consensus protocols

Pulse Coupled Oscillator synchronization

Sensor networks

Body area networks

Communication infrastructure for power networks and Smartgrid

Compressed sensing for channel estimation

Short Biography

Prof. Anna Scaglione received the Laurea (M.Sc. degree) in 1995 and the Ph.D. degree in 1999 from the University of Rome, "La Sapienza." She is currently Associate Professor in Electrical and Computer Engineering at University of California at Davis, since July 2008. She was previously at Cornell University, Ithaca, NY, from 2001 where became Associate Professor in 2006; prior to joining Cornell she was Assistant Professor in the year 2000-2001, at the University of New Mexico.

She served as Associate Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications from 2002 to 2005, and serves since 2008 the Editorial Board of the IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing from 2008. She has been in the Signal Processing for Communication Committee since 2004. She was general chair of the workshop SPAWC 2005 and keynote speaker in SPAWC 2008. Dr. Scaglione is the first author of the paper that received the 2000 IEEE Signal Processing Transactions Best Paper Award; she has also received the NSF Career Award in 2002 and she is co-recipient of the Ellersick Best Paper Award (MILCOM 2005). Her expertise is in the broad area of signal processing for communication systems and networks. Her current research focuses on cooperative wireless networks and sensors' systems for monitoring and control applications.
