Dr. Christian Skalka

Associate Professor Christian Skalka's research is supported by grants from the Air Force Office of Scientific Research and NASA.

His work focuses on programming languages, especially languages such as Java that support secure distributed computing. Read his magazine article on this topic.

More recently, Dr. Skalka's attention has turned to wireless sensor network (WSN) programming. One current project is an interdisciplinary effort to provide low-cost WSN technology for monitoring the amount of water in snowpack for hydrological forecasting; see a trip report on recent field work. Dr. Skalka also provides research opportunities for undergraduates in WSN programming.
