Prof. Kiourti was featured as a Spotlight Speaker for Ohio State’s 2022 Research and Innovation Showcase. Her talk on “Imagining the Future of Wearable Technology” is available here.
Prof. Kiourti has been selected as one of the 2022 College of Engineering Dean’s Award for Distinguished Outreach Achievements recipients. Each year, this is an award to a faculty member who has demonstrated significant and longstanding achievement of positive community impact through outreach activities or programs within the College of Engineering.
Our paper entitled “Next-Generation Healthcare: Enabling Technologies for Emerging Bioelectromagnetics Applications” has been accepted for publication in the IEEE Open Journal of Antennas and Propagation. The paper is available here.
We welcome Yingzhe Zhange (Master’s student) and Cameron King (undergraduate student) to our group. They will research with us on wearable technologies for motion capture and collaborative gaming, respectively.
On Thursday, December 9, 2021, the ElectroScience Laboratory held their Annual Awards Ceremony. Keren Zhu received the “Best Student Paper Award” and Vigyanshu Mishra was recognized with the “Above and Beyond Student Award”. Congratulations to both!
Vigyanshu Mishra successfully defended his PhD dissertation entitled: “Wearable Electrically Small Resonant Loops for Seamless Motion Capture and WBANs.”
Zhenyu Wang successfully defended his PhD dissertation entitled: “A Proximity Sensor for the Steering Wheel Based on Leaky Coaxial Cable.”
Prof. Kiourti has received the NSF CAREER by the Division of Computer and Network Systems. This 5-year, $528k, award will explore a design, modeling, and implementation framework that reconciles human-in-the-loop Cyber-Physical Systems with conductive e-textile sensors operating in complex (human wearing a sensing fabric) and dynamic (real-world) environments. Further information is available here.
We are awarded a 3-year, $365k, grant by NSF ECCS for our project on: “Magneto-Inductive Waveguides: Interconnecting the Next Generation of Wearables and Implants“. The goals of this project are to enable fundamental scientific understanding of Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) relying on Magneto-Inductive Waveguides (MIWs), investigate their real-world application challenges and develop mitigation techniques, including fabric implementations and testing on human subjects, and explore advanced aspects for MIW integration with existing sensors and mobile devices.
