Education

Thesis: Wireless Power Monitoring. For my thesis I developed a system to monitor electricity use at an appliance/outlet level. Plug-in monitors sent electricity usage data over a Zigbee mesh network to a central database for visualization and analysis.
This project became the basis for the smart grid firm Grounded Power, which was acquired by Tendril in the fall of 2010. - ITP Resident Researcher, September 2007-August 2008. As a Resident Researcher I mentored students developing and implementing electronics projects. I also continued work on sustainability and sensor network technologies begun during my thesis.
