Short presentation
Laura Marie Feeney is currently a doctoral researcher in the Communication Research Lab in the Division of Computer Systems, under the supervision of Professors Per Gunningberg and Christian Rohner.
Her research interests are generally in networking and systems, with broad experience in industry, R&D, academic, and startup environments. Much of her current work is directed toward battery-efficient communication, performance evaluation, and practical network operations in the internet-of-things.
Biography
Laura Marie Feeney is a PhD reseearcher in the Communication Research Group at Uppsala University. From 1999-2015, she was a visiting researcher and researcher in the Computer and Network Architectures Lab (now part of the Decisions, Netowrks, and Analytics Lab) at SICS. At SICS, she was a leader in the study of decentralized wireless networks, particularly ad hoc and sensor networks, specializing mainly in energy efficient and battery aware communication technqiues. Although much of her work is based on developing novel measurement techniques, she is also active in the OMNeT++ simulation community.
Before coming to Sweden, Laura participated in the development of the real time Mach microkernel at the OSF Research Institute in Cambridge, MA and in the development of SIMNET and the Defense Simulation Internet at BBN in Cambridge, MA. She has also worked at several startups, most notably the computer game developer Looking Glass Studios. She was a mathematics and computer science undergraduate at MIT.
Laura has co-authored 20 refereed papers in journals and international conferences. She has given two keynote presentations and participated on the organizing committee for numerous conferences, including ACM MSWiM, IFIP Networking, and the OMNeT++ Workshop. She has been a visitor at the Santa Fe Institute Complex Systems Summer School, University of Rome La Sapienza, and Technical University Berlin.
