Lecture Title: Radios as Sensors - the Good, the Bad and the Ugly

Session Chair: TBA

Ayon Chakraborty is a faculty member in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at IIT Madras, India where he directs the Sensing and Networked Systems Engineering (SENSE) group. Prior to that he was a research scientist in the Mobile Communication & Networking group at NEC Labs America, Princeton, NJ. Ayon is broadly interested in the system-level design of future intelligent wireless systems and sensing technologies, spanning both algorithm design as well as system prototyping. He has regularly published in reputed venues for systems and networking including Infocom NSDI, Mobicom, CoNext etc. and was nominated for the best paper award at ACM Sigcomm IMC 2014. At NEC, he contributed to the spin-out effort of an innovative, lab-grown research technology (TrackIO) for infrastructure-free tracking of first responders in GPS-denied environments and holds several patents in that regard. Ayon earned a PhD in computer science from the SUNY Stony Brook, NY and a bachelor’s degree in computer science and engineering from Jadavpur University.

Radios as Sensors - the Good, the Bad and the Ugly

Abstract: Wireless radios form the fabric of connected devices today. However, such radios have traditionally been used for data communication tasks. This talk will focus on exploring the re-use of these radios as a potential sensing modality. Given the pitfalls of visual sensing that includes privacy regulations, dependency on blockages/lighting conditions, bandwidth usage, local/edge compute load and so on, wireless sensing fundamentally addresses some of these challenges. This creates a context where wireless sensing, independently or in augmentation to existing visual sensing can robustly "IoT-ize" sensing solutions. Second, we will look at systems challenges in performing such sensing locally on the IoT device or at the edge. Third, given the inherent broadcast nature of the wireless medium, we will introduce situations when wireless sensing can be adversarially exploited leading to leakage of sensitive contextual information. Overall, the talk will encompass wireless communication radios as an upcoming sensing modality and related end-to-end system design challenges.
