About Me

I am a member of the PERSIST Research Lab at Clemson University. My research explores innovative ways to enhance the intelligence, connectivity, and reliability of constrained edge and embedded networked sensor systems. This involves developing new low-power wireless protocols and tools for networking emerging battery-free systems, optimizing machine learning models for resource-constrained edge/embedded devices, and employing various energy harvesting modalities to power batteryless sensors and wearables.
