CWT Research Interests
  • Analysis and Mitigation of Security Vulnerabilities and Overhead in Wireless Networks, especially Rapidly Deployable Networks
  • Bluetooth - testing, certification, interoperability
  • Bluetooth security analysis
  • Broadband (120Mbps) Wireless for Disaster Response - Network Intelligence and Tools for First Responder Access to Critical Information Resources
  • Cognitive and adaptive radios - biologically inspired technology for secure and robust communications. Newly revamped and expanded! CWT invites you to take a first look at our Cognitive Radio web site. We will be adding content even more content over the next few weeks, so check back frequently. If you have specific topics or questions you would be interested in seeing us cover, or other feedback, please contact cwt@vt.edu with your suggestions.
