Kaisen Lin

I am a 6th year PhD student at UC San Diego being advised by Rajesh Gupta in the MESL group. I grew up in Cupertino, CA (literally several blocks from 1 Infinite Loop). I went to high school at nearby Cupertino High School, and then continued my education at UC Berkeley. In addition to computing, I am interested in economics and medicine. I am also a fan of the San Jose Sharks, and I have promised to streak my hair teal if they ever make it to the Stanley Cup Finals.

My primary research interests are in sensor networks, particularly how to use them to solve real-world problems, but I am also interested in distributed systems and mobile services. Most of my previous work has involved data dissemination and programming tools to provide services for easing sensor-network deployments.

In 2005, I interned at Microsoft in the MapPoint group working on Pocket Streets and Trips.

In 2006, I interned at Arch Rock working on the Intel Imote2.

In 2007, I interned at Arch Rock again working on the Xbow IRIS.

In 2008, I interned at Microsoft Research Redmond working on localization for mobile phones.

In 2009, I spent some time at Los Alamos National Laboratory working to integrate their structural health monitoring system.

In 2010, I interned at Microsoft Research Asia working on platform services for mobile phones.

I have TAed undergraduate courses at UC San Diego for both CSE (Operating Systems) and non-CSE majors (Fluency with Information Technology).

In 2009, I taught a seminar on Sensor Networks.
