Biography

I am a graduate student of the Department of Computer Science at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I am currently working in the Embedded Intelligence Lab under the supervision of Dr. Shahriar Nirjon on Pervaise and Mobile Computing, Embedded & Intermittent Systems and Machine Learning.

The focus of my research is to understand and enhance the usability and processing capabilities of tiny, energy harvesting, batteryless computing devices to realize their full potential in our daily lives by increasing energy-efficiency and introducing timeliness and learning capability.

I am currently applying for faculty positions. Here are my materials.

2013

World Finalist & National Champion, Microsoft Imagine Cup

We envisioned a continuous health monitoring system that connects the patients with their loved ones and physicians. We designed and developed a wrist band that measures pulse rate and informs the loved ones and physicians in need. It relies on regular cellular phone network for increased reachability and availability in places where internet is not present. We call it "Happy Watch".
