Green Sensor Networks for Structural Health Monitoring (Energy Harvesting and Storage Europe 2013)

Nirvana Meratnia is associate professor in the Pervasive Systems Group at the University of Twente in the area of distributed sensor data analytics, machine learning, and reasoning in wireless sensor networks. Her research interests are in the area of smart sensor systems, Internet of Things (IoT), cyber physical systems, (underwater) wireless sensor networks, and wearable computing.

 

She is the coordinator of the Internet of Things Platform Twente in which several research organisations and companies participate to explore and develop IoT systems and services.

The GENESI project brings wireless sensor network technology to the level where it can provide the core of the next generation of systems for structural health monitoring that are long lasting, pervasive and totally distributed and autonomous. The partners of the project are University of Rome La Sapienza, University of Twente, University of Bologna, ST Microelectronics, Tyndall, Solexperts, and Treesse.
