Thesis title: Linux Implementation of a Sleep-scheduling Algorithm at MAC-level for Smartphones. Description: Conducted a Master Thesis Project at Illinois Institute of Technology, which focuses on energy-efficiency on Smartphones. Ph. D students and master's thesis student are part of FunLab, and have developped a sleep-scheduling algorithm on the MAC-layer level, that allows a minimal consumption of power during continuous traffic (like VoIP calls). My goal is to implement it in the Linux Kernel, and develop an interface to it on a network driver (ath9k).

Development of an embedded cryptographic protection system in a high-performance military-grade camera. - Algorithm design dedicated to secure communication between a PIC and an FPGA Board. - Implementation of the algorithm in an FPGA Board Cyclone IV (VHDL) and a PIC microprocessor (C). - Implementating a new VHDL module dedicated to security and integrating it in the existing design. - Come up with solutions to program a PIC without removing it from the FPGA board. - Communication (SPI) establishment between the FPGA board and the PIC, oscilloscope probing and terminal emulating. - Choice and implementation (C and VHDL) of a secure hash function.

- Following students with different level of study (principaly High School students) - Help students to achieve better scores with comprehensive learning methods and handpicked exercices. - Communicating with parents on students progress and discussing better strategies to improve learning efficiency of their children.

- Setting up of a private network with all basic services. - Connecting all equipment to the private network. - Maintaining the network, adding new functionalities, adding security (firewals, email filters, cryptography).
