About Julie

Julie McCann is Professor of Computer Systems and Head of the Adaptive Emergent Systems Engineering (AESE) group in the Department of Computing at Imperial College London. Her research specializes in spatial computing systems that blur the lines between digital components and physical environments, enabling collaboration, swarming, and conjoining functionalities in sensor networks, cyber-physical systems (CPS), and the Internet of Things (IoT). These systems are designed to be ephemeral, with dynamic behaviors and roles evolving over time. McCann addresses key challenges such as scalability, robustness to failures, resource minimization, energy neutrality, and decomposability. She innovatively applies models from biology, economics, social behaviors, and physics to configure and optimize collective systems. Her practical contributions include decentralized algorithms, cross-layer protocols, and dynamical solutions tailored for low-power, low-resource wireless devices, with applications spanning space exploration, agriculture, and infrastructure engineering. By harnessing cyber-physical interactions, her work enhances system performance, resilience, and security.
