Research Field(Keyword & Summary)
  1. (1) Indoor Location Estimation w/ WLAN

    The indoor positioning estimation accompanies difficulty due to the complexity in electromagnetic wave environment and/or the additional cost for apparatuses which enable accurate location estimation. I found the appropriate evaluation of the WLAN received signal strength in time-domain would provide the sufficient accuracy with reasonable cost. The proposed method uses only the ordinal smartphones and typical server for location estimation, but I adopted the mode value of the received signal strength to derive stable WLAN fingerprints. Our preliminary experiment showed sub-meter accuracy in location estimation.

  2. (2) Education on Computer Simulation Techology

    In order to motivate graduate students to learn practically, I developed a computer simulation platform for the training of the design of uniform magnetic field for MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) magnets. The class students utilized this software as an experimental tool in a reporting assignment.
