Deborah Estrin

  
 

Deborah Estrin is a professor of computer science and electrical engineering at the University of California, Los Angeles. She holds the Jon Postel Chair in Computer Networks, and is the founding director of the National Science Foundation-funded Center for Embedded Networked Sensing (CENS). CENS's mission is to explore and develop innovative, end-to-end, distributed sensing systems, across an array of scientifically and socially relevant applications, from ecosystems to human systems. Estrin and her colleagues are currently exploring Participatory Sensing systems that leverage the location, motion, image, and attached-sensor data streams increasingly available globally from mobile phones, with particular emphasis on human and environmental health applications and on privacy-aware architectures. Estrin's earlier research addressed Internet protocol design and scaling, in particular, inter-domain and multicast routing.
