• Designed MoleNet sensor node for Wireless Underground Sensor Networks (WUSNs) and Agricultural Monitoring • Presented usage of low cost soil moisture sensors for agricultural monitoring instead of expensive time domain reflectometry based volumetric water content sensors by using Artificial Neural Networks • Supervised Internet of Things (IoT) course

• Designed Myntech sensor node for monitoring miners in underground mines and finding trapped miners in disaster scenarios • Developed and tested a prototype system including a GUI using WSNs for finding trapped miners with several emulated disaster scenarios • Presented solution worked seamlessly where ZigBee and WiFi based systems failed completely during emulated disaster scenarios

• Designed power isolation board for TWIN Node testbed. The isolation board disconnects data I/Os and power of Zolertia Z1 sensor nodes from Raspberry Pi. This isolation allows more realistic evaluation of different protocols on Zolertia Z1 sensor nodes using their own batteries • Developed scripts using python for programming Zolertia Z1 through Raspberry Pi and disconnecting them completely afterwards

• Designed battery management system for electrocardiogram (ECG) machine • Thermal printer was interfaced with BeagleBoard as a sustainable solution for printing the ECG in realtime • Developed algorithm for adaptive removal of power-line interference from high resolution ECG
