Technical Areas of Interest


Our technical areas of interest include...

Micromachined sensor technology: especially the ability to read biodata, as with noninvasive glucose monitoring.

Compressive Sensing: fewer, better samples help us acquire data more efficiently.

Clustering: forming groups based on connections helps us understand complex data.
