I work on the integration of IoT and AI into various sectors within smart cities, clean technologies, and ocean technologies.\u00a0<\/p>

As part of my work under Microsoft’s AI for Earth grant, I focused on integrating IoT and Edge AI to provide farmers with a data-driven approach to monitor their harvest and soil health. This integration transforms farms into agricultural hubs within a smart city framework.<\/p>

My academic and research endeavors in Canada and the EU focus on sensor microfabrication and integration into IoT and Edge AI systems. From 2017 to 2019, I was part of a graduate exchange program at KU Leuven in Belgium, conducting research at imec and EnergyVille.<\/span><\/p>

I collaborate with non-governmental organizations (NGOs) on Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) programs that aim to provide academic and technical resources to underserved and disadvantaged groups. In addition, I am an active member of several community groups focused on sustainability and am becoming increasingly involved in policy regulation and recommendations.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
