Andrey Somov

My research focuses broadly on wireless sensor networks and wearable electronics in the scope of Internet of Things. In particular, I am interested in:
– power management, low power design, energy harvesting and anything related to this topic,
– intelligent sensing using ML/DL,
– application and deployment (eSports, biomedical, precision agriculture, smart-X applications).
