We're looking to hire a research scientist/engineer/postdoc focused on designing & building underwater acoustic transducers/sonars Joint project with @WHOI to scale underwater backscatter to real-world deployments Help us spread the word! https://t.co/SX34zsjuq0

Excited about our upcoming work on "battery-free machine learning for the ocean!", just accepted to @ACMHotMobile 2022 - a cross-pond collaboration between our groups @MIT_SK_Lab and @ImperialSysAL. Stay tuned!

Last year, Osvy told our group that his experience with us has been “the best UROP ever!”. Two notes on this: (1) what prompted him to say that had nothing to do with research! (more on this later), and (2) obviously, *we* are the ones lucky enough to have him with us 2/9

Congrats to my students @SayedSaadAfzal @waleedakbr and @OsvyRodriguez on winning the research originality award from @jwafs_mit for their ocean IoT research!

The Research Originality Award goes to Sayed Saad Afzal, Waleed Akbar, and Osvy Rodriguez from @MITEECS and @medialab. They are developing underwater sensor technology that can be applied to everything from ocean exploration to monitoring marine life!

I've been serving on grad admissions committees at MIT for 5 years - in EECS and Media Lab If you want to get into a PhD at a place like MIT, here's a thread with some advice based on my observations 1/13

Less than 1 in a million IoT devices are in the ocean, even though oceans cover 70% of our planet. Yet we need an ocean IoT for climate monitoring, food security, and robotic exploration My keynote talk @NSF on new tech & open problems in underwater #IoT https://t.co/TBegbPVMGv

People experience genuine pleasure—a rush of dopamine—when processing information that supports their beliefs. “It feels good to ‘stick to our guns’ even if we are wrong,” researchers say.

11/ Sayed Saad Afzal (PhD student, MIT) dives into his research on battery-free underwater networks using piezoelectric acoustic backscatter (PAB), and explains how these devices support eco-friendly monitoring of oceans for climatographers @SayedSaadAfzal https://t.co/sRs3Quh3pw

Are you - or do you know someone - on the academic job market, doing great research at the intersection of oceans and computer science? @MIT school of computing has a faculty opening in that area! Help us spread the word about this exciting opportunity https://t.co/FwtqCzzbf4

My group @MIT has multiple MS/PhD openings in IoT & sensors (wireless, hardware, networks, RF/IC, sig proc, ML/AI) We interact/collaborate with 100+ companies, medical doctors, oceanographers, & even presidents/senators Apply to join our awesome group! https://t.co/wNevQEGbv3

I am looking for graduate students to join my group @IllinoisCS. If you are interested in working in #wireless #networks, #IoT systems, satellite networks, etc., please apply to our graduate program & get in touch ( https://t.co/qNatyKUgRk)

MIT News covers our work on batteryless underwater #GPS! "New approach could spark an era of battery-free ocean exploration, with applications ranging from marine conservation to #aquaculture" #BlueEconomy @Rghaffariv @SayedSaadAfzal @OsvyRodriguez https://t.co/LTkF7MCTII

The Economist covers our batteryless #ocean sensors 🌊 and highlights uses in climate/weather, ocean exploration, fish farms, underwater robotics, and SONAR imaging #IoT #climate #aquaculture @Rghaffariv @SayedSaadAfzal @OsvyRodriguez @medialab https://t.co/eOzYLgPVdE

The #ocean is vast, with so much unlocked potential. Join @MIT @medialab @WHOI Oct 5-9 as we “blue sky” the #FutureofOceans. During @NSF sponsored #SmartOceans2020 we’ll explore challenges & opportunities in innovation, exploration & utilization https://t.co/zJkHWY6g5s #IoT

Link to a public repo for our batteryless underwater sensors: https://t.co/VoNb1xZea7 Repo has: - Code (MCU+transmitter+receiver) - PCB schematics - Solidworks 3D printing models - Tutorials on how to fabricate+build sensors from scratch & how to operate them #underwater #IoT

Very excited to open source our battery-free ocean sensors! They communicate+sense+compute without battery. Major apps in ocean exploration, climate monitoring & aquaculture Code+tutorials to build from scratch: https://t.co/mJHhpEpjaN #Ocean #IoT FTW! #climate @medialab

Kudos to @SayedSaadAfzal @OsvyRodriguez @Rghaffariv for their amazing work in creating the codebase + tutorials + guidelines This is based on our #SIGCOMM 2019 paper which won the best paper award last year Stay tuned for more news soon! https://t.co/PLfOssfESM
