Mr. Jonathan Friedman, M.S.E.E. has spent most of his professional career split between IT/MIS administrative duties and mixed-signal PCB design. He was the Director of Database Support Services for Sonic Associates (an IMAX company), Director of US Technological Cooperation Students at the Chernigov State Institute for Economics and Management (Chernigov, Ukraine, 2002) and is the founder of HalcyonIT, an IT oursourcing firm for many small-to-medium size businesses. In his research at UCLA, at the Networked and Embedded Systems Laboratory he is interested in improving the physical sensor layer of wireless mobile embedded sensor networks through more advanced implementations and designs. Specifically, he is targeting the problem of location of a sensed entity by implementing a new architecture for robust (noise-immune), low-latency (many positional

fixes per second), high-accuracy localization for mobile nodes. Additional interests lie in relaxing the deployment constraints and requirements for static (non-mobile) beacons. Application areas of interest lie in entertainment. In collaboration with UCLA's School of Theater, Film, and Television, his work is being shaped and adapted to fit within the unique constraints of this application space
He is a RESEARCH CONSULTANT for Open Acceleration Systems Research.
