Research

My current research focuses on ultra-low power wireless communication, novel platforms and algorithms for mobile and wearable health sensing, learning and inference on multi-modal sensor data, and micro-powered sensors. My current projects include sensing via smart textiles, smart eyeglasses, backscatter communication, and mobile health. I co-lead the MOSAIC Research Group.
