2018: Using RF backscatter to sense soil moisture
In
Summer 2018 I was a research intern at Microsoft Research in Redmond,
WA. My mentor was Ranveer
Chandra and I worked on next-generation soil sensing in the Farmbeats
project. We all got to demo out work to Bill Gates himself, and in
October it was featured on
his blog. There was even a video
made where I made a few brief appearances showcasing our backscatter
tag and digging holes for experiments.
