Research Grants and Contracts

Awarded about $900,000 in external funds as Principal Investigator. Participated in external grants and contracts with funds totaling over $4M and in internal grants worth over $450K. As P.I. of the Georgia Electronic Design Center (GEDC - formerly Yamacraw) Embedded Software Research Contract, led a GSU team of seven faculty and over dozen and a half Ph.D./M.S. students. It resulted in about 6,000 Square Feet of research space in the Technology Square Research Building on Georgia Tech campus with a 800 SF of software/hardware laboratory space, and offices for seven faculty members and over 50 students, and numerous workstations, handheld devices, and other equipments.
