I am currently a 2nd year Electrical and Computer Engineering PhD student at UC Santa Cruz with a focus in robotics, control, cyber physical systems. I am part of Colleen Josephson’s jlab performing research on wireless sensors networks with applications in agricultural and environmental monitoring.
Environmentally NeTworked Sensor (ENTS)
My work focuses on developing low-power scalable wireless sensor network platform for studying low power energy source such as soil-based Microbial Fuel Cells (SMFCs) and prickley pear cacti. The project named Environmentally NeTworked Sensor (ENTS) is open source and you can see the current status of the project at the following GitHub repo:
You can see a live version of the project at https://dirtviz.jlab.ucsc.edu/ which is showing data from currently running experiments.
We’ve seen an interest in the project from environmental scientists to use ENTS as a general purpose logging device for environmental monitoring.
OASIS
Due to the scalability of ENTS, the platform is being used in the project OASIS which seeks to perform 3D simulate agricultural fields. The simulation results will be used in drone path planning. ENTS will be used to perform the necessary ground truth measurements to validate the simulation results at the UCSC farm.
