Energy Harvesting in Wireless Sensor Networks and Internet of Things

Faisal Karim Shaikh is a professor in the Department of Telecommunication Engineering at the Mehran University of Engineering and Technology, Jamshoro, Pakistan. His research is focused on investigating energy-efficient communication protocols in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) for mobile, ubiquitous, and pervasive applications. He is interested in environmental monitoring, vehicular ad hoc networks, smart homes, telehealth (body area networks), and Internet of Things. He is a member of PEC, IEEE, and ACM.Sherali Zeadally is a professor in the College of Communication and Information at the University of Kentucky, USA. He is the editor-in-chief of the IET Wireless Sensor Systems Journal, a board member of the IET International Book Series on Sensors and he currently serves as an associate editor or editorial board member for over 30 international refereed journals. He is a fellow of the British Computer Society and a fellow of the IET.
