Are Acoustic Waves the Future of IoT Sensors?

Now with the support of the National Science Foundation, Professor Karthikeyan Sundaresan is exploring the use of acoustic waves to develop more efficient and scalable Internet of Things sensors, potentially transforming various applications from smart homes to vehicle synchronization and more.

The ECE Ph.D. student developed a cell design and fabrication process that has the potential to make solar energy two to three times cheaper than fossil fuels.

Students experience the real-world analog chip tapeout process, with their designs being produced at Texas Instruments’ state-of-the-art wafer fabs.
