Research: Sujit Dey heads the Mobile Embedded Systems Design and Test Laboratory (http://esdat.ucsd.edu), which is engaged in developing adaptive algorithms, protocols, and deep sub-micron hardware-software architectures for cost-effective, quality-aware, and reliable wireless data services, including emerging sensor network based services. Prior to joining UCSD, Dr. Dey was a Senior Researcher at NEC, where he led projects in high performance and low power embedded system-on-chip design and test, leading to several technology transfers both within NEC and outside. Dey is a co-inventor of 10 U.S. patents, and has several pending. He has presented numerous tutorials and invited talks, and participated in panels, in the topics of design and test of deep sub-micron system-on-chips, low-power hardware-software embedded systems, and low-power wireless systems design.
