Keynote address by Prof. Lambertus Hesselink

Secure Remote Collaboration Among Members of Small Groups

Abstract:

In this keynote talk we discuss our recent work on connecting multiple devices into a Personal Private Network (PPN) where members can securely and simply collaborate and remotely access all their data, content and applications.  The system is commercially available as an offspring of the iLabs work at Stanford University.  We will address key issues of security, interfacing of laboratory applications, collaboration and simplicity of use. Finally we address the opportunity for distributed computing and storage in the PPN.

Short biography:

Professor Hesselink, PhD is Professor of Electrical Engineering and Applied Physics at Stanford University.  His recent research interests include networked collaboration, nano-photonics and advanced optical data storage. He has received numerous awards, including being a member of the Royal Dutch Academy of Arts and Sciences, Fellow of the OSA and SPIE, Fulbright scholar, AIAA teacher of the year, the DARPA award, and the Stheeman award. He has authored over 450 scientific papers, given over 275 invited and keynote talks, and co-authored over 15 books and book chapters

The Hesselink's Research Group focuses its efforts on fundamental processes related to laser-matter interaction with novel applications in photonics and nano technology. In addition to the physical science and engineering research, the group has pioneered the development and use of remotely controlled laboratories over the Internet. In 1998 the group build the first remotely controlled laboratory that consisted of a fully self-contained system where students can reserve, and remotely access optics and physics experiments.
