Me and @zerinakap are co-chairing. See you in Irvine!.

Breaking news! ENSSys, the International Workshop on Energy Harvesting & Energy-Neutral Sensing Systems, is returning to SenSys/CPS-IoT Week for its 13th edition. Submission deadline is February 28!

I've been busy working with my colleagues to launch a new initiative called the UCSC AgTech Alliance, which just "went public" yesterday!.

HotCarbon will be returning to Boston in July 2025, and we're excited to have Abel Souza (UCSC) and Timo Hoenig (RUB) as our TPCs. Stay tuned for the Call for Papers!.

a fun project with a fun team. full paper here:

Check out the pre-print for our work here: And, as always, once published our code and datasets will be fully open-sourced 😉 (7/7).

Using our model, we were able to achieve a 100+% increase in successful intermittent computing operations using our simulation framework. Once translated to real embedded systems, this could lead to significant improvements in the usability of batteryless electronics (6/n).

In this work, we created a deep learning model that takes in environmental data (like soil moisture, temperature, and electrical conductivity), and outputs a prediction of how much energy the soil battery will produce for a future time horizon. (5/n)

That's why we're excited to share our most recent publication, "Towards Deep Learning for Predicting Microbial Fuel Cell Energy Output", which will appear at ACM COMPASS next week (4/n).

Energy harvested from soil batteries is difficult to model because these are complex biological systems that respond to conditions like temperature, moisture content and soil type (3/n)

Intermittent computing is computing designed for non-constant, or intermittent execution, and is driven by the availability of harvested energy. The ability to effectively predict power income could be a game changer for intermittent computing. (2/n).

One of the biggest challenges to wider adoption of environmental sensing networks is the lack of ubiquitous power infrastructure. You can't just plug electronics into the dirt. but what if you could? (1/n)

HotCarbon 2024 is being hosted at UC Santa Cruz, and registration is now live! .

New pet peeve: publishers that require figures/tables to be at the end of an article. Inline figures/tables are sooooo much more readable.
