CRII is a program under the Directorate for Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) at NSF. The award is established with the goal of encouraging research independence immediately upon obtaining the applicant’s first academic position after receipt of the PhD. The grant is designed to support untenured faculty or research scientists within their first three years in a primary academic position. This two-year-long award will support Professor Sen’s research on In-Sensor Analytics and Human Body Communication (HBC) for Implantables, which focuses on using the human body as a conducting medium to securely, safely and energy-efficiently connect implantable devices.
