CS4Env Biweekly Seminar
April 21, 2026 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Title: The World’s Smallest Computer and Its Applications
Speaker: Inhee Lee
Abstract: Miniature Internet-of-Things (IoT) systems have unique feature sets that include wireless communication, energy harvesting, and a small form factor, thus enabling non-invasive, secure placement for biomedical, ecological, surveillance, and infrastructure applications, among others. In this talk, I will discuss the challenges in developing miniature IoT systems and introduce a millimeter-scale system platform. Additionally, I will highlight two intriguing use scenarios of miniature systems for ecological studies.
