Professor Cristina Videira Lopes

An Associate Professor of Computer Science at University of California, Irvine, she received her B.S. and M.S. degrees in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Instituto Superior T?cnico, in Lisbon, and a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Northeastern University, in Boston. Prior to being a professor, she was a Research Scientist at the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center PARC. While there, she was most known as a founder of the group that developed Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP) and started aspectj.org. More recently, she has been working in ubiquitous computing, with a focus in communication mechanisms that are pervasive, secure and intuitive for humans to perceive and interact with. She is a member of the ICSE 2012 , ICSM 2012, and OOPSLA 2012 Conference Program Committees. Included in the most recent publications she has co-authored are: "Mote-based Underwater Sensor Networks: Opportunities, Challenges, and Guidelines", Telecommunication Systems Journal (Kluwer), March, 2008, with R. Jurdak, A.G. Ruzzelli, and G.M.P. O'Hare; "Adaptive Low Power Listening for Wireless Sensor Networks," IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing. Volume 6, Issue 8, pp. 988-1004. August, 2007, with R. Jurdak, and P. Baldi; and "Reliable Symbol Synchronization in Acoustic Sensor Networks," Proceedings of IEEE GlobeCom, Washington, D.C., 2007, with R. Jurdak, A. G. Ruzzelli, and G.M.P. O'Hare.
