Biography

Dr. Brano Kusy is a principal research scientist and Group Leader of the Distributed Sensing Systems in CSIRO. His research is on the new frontiers in networked embedded systems, mobile and wearable computing, and Internet of Things. Specifically, his focus on realising the vision of intelligent sensing technology that turns physical world into intelligent environments that we can sense, automate, and interact with in real-time. He has designed and deployed energy-efficient networked sensing systems to improve productivity and safety in the industry as well as improve resilience of natural and built ecosystems. Dr. Kusy is a strong proponent of research that is deployed and validated in the real world and his key focus area is to help end users to realise the value of edge AI models in challenging, always changing, real-world environments.

Dr. Kusy is an internationally respected scientist, with strong track record on scalable energy-efficient distributed sensing systems, including algorithms for coordinated control, synchronisation, localisation, reliable wireless communications, on-device machine learning, and adaptive sampling. He has served as the General Chair of IPSN’20, is regularly involved in technical program committees of top-ranked international conferences ACM SenSys, ACM/IEEE IPSN, EWSN, IEEE MASS, IEEE ICDCS and has served on the TinyOS Core Working Group. His publications have more than 7800 citations and an h-index of 34 and his work on Flooding Time-Synchronisation Protocol won the prestigious “Test of Time Award” from ACM SensSys conference. Dr. Kusy has a master’s degree in computer science from Comenius University, Slovakia and a PhD degree in computer science from Vanderbilt University, USA. Prior to CSIRO, he held a postdoctoral appointment with Prof. Leo Guibas at Stanford University.
