A paragraph about you: I am a Ph.D. student in Electrical and Computer Engineering. I received my Bachelor's degree from the University of Iowa in Computer Science. I am interested in applications of the Internet of Things to improve the efficiency of physical systems, for example hydroponic agriculture. In my research I have developed hardware and software based approaches for tracing software execution in networked embedded systems. I have also co-founded a company called SensorHound Innovations. In my spare time I enjoy hiking, Nordic skiing, and gardening.
