About |
I am currently a research engineer at Blue Iris Labs, a health sensing startup founded by Erik, Will, and me.
- PhD student at University of California, Berkeley in EECS
- Undergraduate student at University of Michigan in CSE
During my time at Michigan and Berkeley, I worked with Prabal Dutta and Lab11. My research is focused on developing tools and frameworks for the application-driven design of energy-harvesting wireless sensors. To this end, I developed a long-lifetime indoor sensor mote named Permamote. Permamote's design was informed by a custom wireless sensor energy simulator that incorporates real energy harvesting traces and platform benchmarks to estimate system energy utilization, lifetime, and availability. Permamote combines energy-harvesting, a backing primary cell battery, and the newest, lowest power components to achieve reliable operation over a greater than 10 year lifetime. Permamote performs ambient environmental sensing, but its heirarchical and modular power supply can be reused to serve various application specific designs.
Most recently, I adapted the platform and created Permacam to support an ultra-low power, long lifetime camera for wireless, long-lifetime computer vision tasks.
