Our group focusses on researching hardware and systems for connected devices and wearables constituting Internet of Bodies (IoB). IoB is an extension of IoT, wherein connected things in, on and around the human body senses and share vital information about the body to remote servers in the cloud for continuous and long-time monitoring of the individual and surroundings.
What Is the Internet of Bodies?, Internet of Bodies: Our Connected Future
Specific Research Interests
Wearables for Internet of Bodies: Design of low power wearables capable of harvesting energy from the body (e.g., energy from body heat) for long-term battery free sensing and communication.
Ultra-Low Power and Secure Communication: Explore different modalities of secure and ultra-low-power short-range communication between wearable devices and off-body transceivers. (e.g., human body communication, capacitive communication, magnetic communication)
Hardware Security: Develop hardware security measures to protect the wearable devices from unauthorized access or replacements (e.g., PUFs for wearables)
