Scientist to develop sustainable man-machine interaction intelligence

SMU Professor of Information Systems Archan Misra has received a National Research Foundation (NRF) Investigatorship grant to develop new capabilities in ultra-low power sensing and embedded machine intelligence, which can catalyse innovative applications in smart cities, factories and buildings. To usher in an era of truly sustainable pervasive sensing, Prof Misra is embarking on a new project, titled ‘C2SEA: Coordinated Cyber-physical Sensing & Edge Analytics’, which was funded in the recent 5th NRF Investigatorship Call. Prof Misra plans to use wearable and IoT devices for sensing and in-situ computing capabilities, while also radically reducing the energy consumption overheads these activities require.
