Research

We live in a highly interdependent and increasingly vulnerable world. Decisions made at one corner of the world often produce upheaval on unsuspected lives at another corner. Seemingly innocuous actions carried out in everyday life are leading to long lasting and adverse consequences, both to the present and the coming generation. Dealing with highly dynamic and complex situations requires a rich knowledge and penetrating understanding. The purpose of my research is to enrich human beings with knowledge of their surroundings by developing and deploying adaptive and resilient sensing systems. I strive to fulfill this purpose by pursuing three complementary goals. My first goal is to develop highly adaptive and energy-efficient sensing nodes. This includes modeling, testing, and integrating state-of-the-art sensors. My second goal is to develop efficient and lightweight communication protocols to establish self-organizing and highly resilient distributed and wireless sensing systems. My third goal is to apply probabilistic models and unsupervised learning in order to extract meaning from sensed data.

What do some of the brightest and most original scientists and writers believed about the meaning and purpose of human strive?

Very few twenty-century scientists made as a lasting influence on modern society as Albert Einstein and Sigmund Freud. Physicists routinely use the theories Einstein developed a century ago to analyse and comprehend cosmological and quantum phenomena. Similarly, some of the vital models contemporary psychologists routinely apply in order to explain psychosexual developments and human psyches are credited to Freud. Perhaps less known to the general public is the magnitude of influence Fyodor Dostoevsky and Leo Tolstoy had on both Einstein and Freud. Einstein once declared: "Dostoevsky gives me more than any scientist, more than Gauss." Freud too ranked Dostoevsky's The Brothers Karamazov alongside the works of Shakespeare in terms of its literary significance. Tolstoy had likewise influenced Einstein and Freud.

Two of the subjects, in which they held a common interested with comparable magnitude, were God and the purpose of human life. All of them, without exception, had passionately been occupied by and written and talked extensively about these subjects. The purpose of this book is to closely examine the beliefs of the quartet based on the books and articles they produced over a span of many years. The author has made a great effort to make their views as comprehensible as possible for the general reader without diluting or oversimplifying them.

As of 25 November 2020, THE REASON FOR LIFE was #5 on AMAZON GERMANY's BESTSELLER RANK under Religious Philosophy category.
