Prospective Post-docs

The SENSORS group has openings for excellent post-doctoral candidates in the area of embedded systems for wearable electronics and mobile health. You must have done a significant amount of hardware prototyping, designed low-power systems, and have experience with leading significant hardware/software efforts. If you fit this bill, please send me your CV.


Prospective MS/Ph.D. Students

The SENSORS group has openings for highly motivated graduate students who have demonstrated research potential and are interested in research ultra low-power wearable computing, mobile healthcare, and passive wireless communication. In particular, we are actively looking for students with excellent skills in a subset of these areas: low-power embedded systems design and prototyping, machine learning and applying them to real-world sensing problems, wireless backscatter communication/systems, and more broadly networked systems. Strong analytical and systems skills are important, as well as the incliniation to solve practical problems and designing systems that work. If you fit these broad set of profiles, please send me your CV.


Undergraduate students looking for projects

If you would like to do research with me in sensor networks, you should have taken at least one of the following courses and received high grades in them: ECE353/354 (Computer Systems/Embedded Systems lab), CS453 (Computer Networks), CS377 (Operating Systems). I often have openings for undergraduate students in the following types of projects. 
  • Embedded Systems: Interested in prototying new sensor platforms, particularly ultra-low power embedded systems, on-body wearable sensors, low-power wireless communication. Skills: PCB board design, FPGA programming, Embedded systems experience, excellent programming skills in C.
  • Sensor Systems Research: A number of projects in low-power networked systems Must have excellent programming skills.
