My lab has made multiple inventions including battery-free computers that float in the wind, origami microfliers, ambient backscatter, Wi-Fi sensing and imaging, acoustic swarms, battery-free phones, active sonar on smart devices and Internet of bio-inspired and biological things. We also created various computing tools for medical diagnostics like contactless breathing, cardiac arrest and irregular heart rhythm monitoring, blood clot and ear infection testing using smartphones and new-born hearing screening using earbuds.
We are currently building superhuman hearing capabilities like semantic hearing that have until now been in the realm of science fiction.
