• Research Project: Easing the programming model and improving power efficiency of Energy Harvesting Systems.
• Advisor: Professor Brandon Lucia, Assistant Professor, Electrical and Computer Engineering, CMU
• Energy Harvesting Systems are an emerging class of embedded devices which are used for computing and sensing applications. Their miniature size allows them to be used as Internet of Things devices in a non intrusive manner. They rely on energy harvested from the environment to function. Hence they behave intermittently. The research team focuses on improving the programmability and reliability of these devices.
