AeroSense: Sensing Aerosol Emissions from Inddor Human Activities


A novel privacy-preserving approach using audio sensing to accurately predict the rate of aerosol generated from detecting the kinds of human respiratory activities and determining the loudness of these activities. (Accepted at IMWUT 2024)

Supervised by: Prof. Prashant Shenoy and Prof. Jeremy Gummeson

Collaborators: Camellia Zakaria and Richard Peltier


Cough-DL: A DEEP LEARNING MODEL FOR EAR-WORN COUGH DETECTION


We propose an accurate and efficient audio-based cough detection system for ear-worn devices. Through extensive experimentation, we identify the optimal model, input, and data augmentation technique for cough classification. (Under submission)

Supervised by: Ebrahim Nemati and Jilong Kuang


Cocoon: On-body microphone collaboration for spatial awareness


Cocoon is a novel wearable system that automatically provides users with situational services based on their location. To this end, it combines spatial profiles from multiple on-body microphones on the fly and identifies a user’s location by matching the profile against the pre-registered ones. (Accepted at ACM HotMobile 2023)

Supervised by: Utku AcerChulhong Min , Si Young Jang, and Fahim Kawsar


FlowSense: Monitoring Airflow in Building Ventilation Systems Using Audio Sensing 


We hypothesize that the low frequency spectrum of audio signals captured from a microphone sensor can be used to distinguish the rate of airflow in an indoor environment. The larger goal of our work is to create an environmental health solution that can empower users with critical healthy air information to make better decisions of what buildings to enter while assisting the organization stakeholder to maintain standards. (Accepted at IMWUT 2022)

Pollinator Bee at IIT Bombay

This projects imitates the behaviour of pollinator bee. As the bee goes from flower to flower and pollinates them, here the drone(PlutoX) takes off from beehive, goes to each flower, pollinates them and lands back to the beehive. This includes Aerial Robotics, ROS, V-REP simulation, Control Systems and Image Processing. Our team secured first position in the competition.

This project was developed as a part of eYRC 2018 competition at IIT Bombay.

GAUNTLET

A light and compact wearable for capturing precise finger and hand gestures - uses potentiometers placed at every joint of the hand and an IMU. 

This project started in Hack-A-Bit 2018 and then taken forward. It secured second position at ACM Student Research Competition at ESWEEK'19 held at NYU. Later, It got accepted in ACM WearSys 2020 (Mobisys), Toronto, Canada
