The energy savings of buildings promised by automatic control systems are often ineffective due to occupants who may not use the features of the system to the full potential at best, or deactivate the system at worst. Therefore, systems that adapt to the occupant over time without compromising Read more
Occupancy detection using Bluetooth
Gathering occupancy data is considered as one of the grand challenges in building information modeling. Direct occupancy detection methods, such as the typical passive infrared (PIR) motion detectors detect motion rather than presence and are difficult to retrofit into existing buildings. Read more
Non-Smooth Dynamics Modeling of Wireless Resonant Magnetic Microactuators
In this project, we considered the world's first really untethered microrobots that are driven by oscillating magnetic fields. The oscillations are converted into mechanical energy and rectified using a spring-mass impact system with friction, leading to stick-slip motion. I model this system using Read more
Intraocular Microrobots and Control Using Field Gradients
This project aimed at developing magnetic microrobotics for ophtalmic surgery. I was involved in developing the magnetic model for assembled-MEMS microrobots. The model is validated through FEM simulations and experiments, and captures the characteristics of complex 3-D structures. It allows us, Read more
Wireless Sensor Networks for Building Retrofit
Retrofit measures are an effective means to improve both the heating energy and carbon footprint of a building. On one hand, reducing the losses through the envelope reduces the energy consumption. On the other hand, updating the heating from a fossil-fuel based system to an emission-free one bears Read more
