We have built the foundations of a wearable motion capture technology that can be inconspicuously integrated in the garments of daily wear and enables seamless motion capture while overcoming limitations in the state-of-the-art. This has the potential to redefine the way human movement is monitored presently thereby bringing unprecedented benefits to the field of healthcare, sports, and many more. It utilizes electrically small resonant loops as basic building block and operates using near-field coupling mechanism.
We have laid the foundations of a new wearable technology in the area of wireless body area networks that can be integrated on garments of daily wear. This provides several remarkable advantages compared to current technologies. It enables connectivity of various wearable sensors on the human body via metamaterial-based structure which allows confined propagation on thin layer of garment.
We have worked with United States Nationwide Children's Hospital on the problem of unintentional radio frequency (RF) energy transfer during tonsillectomy that possibly leads to post-surgery complications in patients.
We initiated this work on unobtrusive detection of joint effusion that utilizes wearable electromagnetic sensors.
This work was aimed at improving the gain of a monopole patch antenna using artificial magnetic conductor (AMC) and frequency selective surface (FSS).
This project dealt with developing various types of plasmonic nanoantennas.
