About the Contributors
xxii
researcher at the University of Calgary, Canada, and in the beginning of 2017 a visiting scholar at Stanford University, USA. Kuusniemi’s research interests cover various
aspects of GNSS and sensor fusion for seamless outdoor/indoor positioning, especially
reliability monitoring and information security in positioning. She is the Coordinator of
the Academy‐funded project “Information Security of Location Estimation and
Navigation Applications (INSURE)”.
Helena Leppäkoski received her MSc degree in 1990 and her PhD in 2015 from
Tampere University of Technology (TUT). She was with Metso Corporation, Helsinki,
Finland, from 1990 to 2000 and joined TUT in 2000, where she is currently a Postdoctoral
Researcher. Her research topics have varied from satellite positioning to various methods for pedestrian indoor positioning and machine learning for location related context
inference. Currently she is working on a project on information security of location
estimation and navigation applications. She is currently involved in the Academy‐
funded project “Information Security of Location Estimation and Navigation
Applications (INSURE)”.
Hoang Long MAI received a double degree in Engineering in Information Risk’s
Management and his Master’s degree in Information Systems Security from University
of Technology of Troyes in 2016. He is currently a PhD student in a CIFRE (Industrial
Convention of Formation by Research) contract between Montimage France, University
of Technology of Troyes and INRIA Lorraine. His PhD topic is focused on the
Autonomous Monitoring and Control of Virtualized Network Functions for security
and with an application to Named Data Networking.
Jan Melén is a Research Leader of Network Architecture group at Ericsson Research in
Jorvas, Finland. He has over 15 years background on network protocol research and
standardisation in the area of IP, mobility, routing and network architectures. Recently,
Jan has done research on Internet‐of‐Things (IoT) and Machine‐to‐Machine (M2M)
related topics on network design and architecture. He has participated and contributed
to IETF and 3GPP standardisation and has had active role in Finnish strategic research
agendas related to the field of IoT and future networks.
Jari Iinatti (SMIEEE) received his MSc and DTech degrees in electrical engineering
from the University of Oulu, Finland, in 1989 and 1997, respectively. During 1989–1997,
he was a Research Scientist at the Telecommunication Laboratory at the University of
Oulu. During 1997–2002, he was an acting professor of Digital Transmission Techniques,
and since 2002, Professor of Telecommunication Theory at Centre for Wireless
Communications at the University of Oulu. He is also an IAS Visiting Professor at
Yokohama National University, Yokohama, Japan. His research interests include future
wireless communications systems, transceiver algorithms, wireless body area networks
(WBANs) and medical ICT. He published more than 200 journal and conference papers
and holds 6 patents. He supervised 13 Doctoral Theses and 64 Master’s Theses. He has
been a TPC member at about 30 conferences, and he was a TPC chair in the ISMICT2007,
TPC co‐chair in PIMRC2006, BodyNets2012 and PIMRC 2014, general co‐chair in the
ISMICT2011, 2014–2017.
