Biography

Dr. Sreejith Vidhyadharan Nair holds his Ph.D. in mobile wireless sensor networks from Birla Institute of Science and Technology - Pilani, India. He has over 19 years of research and academic experience, including working with government agencies and industries on funded projects. In addition, he mentored many undergraduate and postgraduate students in the area of cyber-physical systems and computer networks. Sreejith's research focus includes Unmanned Aerial Systems, Internet of Things, and Wireless Networks. He joined the University of North Dakota as a PostDoctoral Researcher at the Research Institute for Autonomous Systems (RIAS). Sreejith at present is working as Research Assistant Professor, Aviation, UND. His work involves developing communication protocol and improving sensing for air, and ground-based sensors, autonomous navigation, UAS assisted target detection and tracking using machine learning, designing, and developing intelligent systems using edge analytics, and GPS denied navigation for ground vehicles, etc.
