Rahul's focus is on the development of life-critical and safety-critical
real-time embedded systems in medical devices, automotive electronics, wireless control
networks and energy-efficient buildings. He directs mLAB::Real-Time and Embedded Systems
Lab, which develops software verification and testing techniques for high-confidence
medical devices such as implantable cardiac pacemakers; new designs for automotive
electronic controllers to develop programmable vehicles of the future; distributed
wireless control networks for closed-loop industrial automation, and new
scheduling/control algorithms for energy-efficient buildings.
