Introduction and Research Areas
I am an Associate
Professor in the Communications & Networks (CommNet) Area at the Department of Electrical and Computer
Engineering, National University of
Singapore.
I conduct research in the field of sensor
networks and real-time sensor data analytics, focussing on the following areas:
- Sensor networks and grid/cloud computing, i.e. Cyber-Physical System (CPS), Demand Response and Energy
Efficiency in Smart Grid
- Real-time streaming data analytics and event processing
- Cooperative & coordinated networked systems, i.e. wired, wireless, sensor networks, and
distributed systems
- Optimization and resource allocation in resource-constrained
networks, i.e. Quality of Service (QoS)
Theoretical frameworks and approaches:
- Network economics and pricing
- Markov decision processes (MDP), dynamic programming (DP)
- Distributed optimization, stochastic optimization
- Game theory
Short Biography
THAM Chen Khong is an Associate Professor and Deputy
Head for External Relations and Outreach at the Department of Electrical and
Computer Engineering (ECE) of the National University of Singapore (NUS). His
current research focuses on sensor network infrastructures and real-time sensor
data analytics involving cyber-physical systems, wireless sensor networks,
cloud computing and participatory sensing. He was an early proponent of the SensorGrid
architecture. From 2007-10, he was on secondment at
A*STAR Institute for Infocomm Research (I2R)
Singapore and served as principal scientist and department head of the
Networking Protocols Dept, and programme manager of
the Personalization, Optimization & Intelligence through Services (POISe) (Services) Programme. From
2006-09, he was the programme manager of a
multi-institution research programme on UWB-enabled
Sentient Computing (UWB-SC) funded by A*STAR Singapore. He obtained his Ph.D.
and M.A. degrees in Electrical and Information Sciences Engineering from the
University of Cambridge, United Kingdom, and was an Edward Clarence Dyason Universitas21 Fellow at the University of Melbourne,
Australia. He is in the Editorial Board of the International Journal of Network
Management, was the general chair of the IEEE AINA 2011 and IEEE APSCC 2009
conferences, and was the organizing chair of IEEE ICCS 2012. He and his
co-authors won the Best Paper award at IEEE ICUWB 2008 and ACM MSWiM 2007. Prior to joining NUS, he worked as an IT
consultant at Accenture and a quality and reliability engineer at
Hewlett-Packard.
See
our IEEE SECON 2012 paper on “Fairness
and Social Welfare in Incentivizing Participatory Sensing” and IEEE
DCOSS 2013 paper on “Quality
of Contributed Service and Market Equilibrium for Participatory Sensing”.
We have developed an
Android-based application called ContriSense:Bus that uses participatory
sensing to derive useful crowd-sourced real-time information on public buses.
See
also our earlier work on SensorGrid.
