About the Lab
WSSL's broad research interests are in the areas of AI-powered mobile/wearable computing and sustainable computing. Our research agenda
has focused on Sustainable Autonomous Things (SATs) for the vision of the
Internet of Sustainable Medical Things, Internet of Sustainable Living Things, and Internet of Sustainable Flying Things.
Our work is interdisciplinary in nature, where we develop new techniques in sensor and sensing system development, algorithms, data
analytics, signal processing, hardware, and firmware optimization to invent:
-
(1) a new class of medical devices that can continuously and unobtrusively collect novel and important health data in
non-clinical settings
- (2) a new class of living sensors that can live with plants/animals
- (3) a new class of unmanned aerial vehicles that requires extremely low maintenance.
- (4) We are also interested in sustainable quantum computing, and with Berkeley Lab, we have made some exciting progress.
