Short presentation

I belong to the research Computer Systems program and the Computer Communication group at the department of Information Technology. We do experimental research within Internet-of-Things, mobile, and sensor networking often in collaboration with industry. My most recent work include edge support for real-time sensor networks and efficient usage of IoT batteries. I have earlier been giving the course Distributed Information Systems course.

Biography

Professor Gunningberg was appointed as full professor in Data Communication at Uppsala University in 1999. During 2007 to 2013 he was the (founding) director of the "Excellence Center research center WISENET on wireless sensor networks". In 2014 he co-founded the Swedish "Innovation Program on Internet-of-Things" at Uppsala University.

He got his PhD on fault tolerant distributed systems from Uppsala University 1983, his MSc in Computer Science from University of California Los Angeles, UCLA, in 1981. Since then he has been working in the computer communication, networking and distributed systems areas. Before joining the Uppsala University faculty in 1995, he was Scientist and group leader at the Swedish Institute of Computer Science (SICS) from 1986 to 1996. He was a visiting professor at UCLA during 1984-85. During Spring 2007 he was a visiting scholar at UC Berkeley, in 2011 a Guest Professor at ETH Zurich, 2015 a Guest Professor at NICTA Sydney and in 2017 he was a visiting Researcher at Ericsson's Research facility in Silicon Valley.

He is regarded as one of the networking authorities on the academic side in Sweden and he has founded several collaborate centers/programs with industry partners. He has authored or co-authored more than 170 publications and has five approved patents. He has been invited to international panels, to give conference key talks and to give tutorials at conferences. He has frequently been engaged as an evaluator of major international research programs. He has guided 24 graduate students to their PhD degrees.

On the professional side he has been a member of the Technical Advisory Committee for the ACM SIGCOMM society, an associate editor for the IEEE Transaction on Mobile and other on other editorial boards. He has regularly been servicing on major conference program committees in the networking area. On the entrepreneurial side he has been consulting for Ericsson, Telenor and other smaller telecom companies. He is a co-founder of three companies, the most recent is OptiMobile AB.

Research

My current research interest is on Internet-of-Things. We focus on the wireless networks for IoT, primarily their reliability properties, energy consumption, mobility and security. Our research is mainly experimental, we design, simulates and implements system from various application requirements. We evaluate them with respect to performance, resource usage and robustness properties. Our current application areas are factory automation and IoT for telekom. In the projekt "Efficient IoT batteries" we optimize the life-time of small, regular batteries, given the characteristics of IoT-devices and communication patterns. In the project "Factory-in-the-Cloud"(2021) we did research on real-time properties of wireless sensor networks. We used "edge servers" and twin digital sensors located outside the networks to reduce the energy consumption.
