How to Wirelessly Sense Almost Anything

Graduate / Professional

This seminar course introduces graduate students and senior undergraduates in EE/CS to wireless sensing. We explore various signals and sensing modalities, including radio frequency, mmWave, acoustics, and visible light. We cover fundamental principles such as battery-free computing, wireless localization, sensor security, health sensing, and backscatter networking. In this course, we examine wireless sensing applications such as seeing through walls, contactless vital sign monitoring, smart homes, ocean IoT, and smart agriculture, as well as multi-modal sensing for augmented reality headsets and robotics. Lectures introduce fundamental technologies through research paper discussions and readings. Additionally, students undertake a semester-long research project. T 1:30pm-3:25pm
