Experience

MOX Gas Sensor—Signal Processing and Firmware

MOX sensors offer a low-cost solution for measuring gases of interest in the environment, suitable for mass-market adoption for air quality measurement and control applications. The sensor, however, provides a low-quality signal that needs further processing to extract quantities of interest.

I was one of the main contributors for required signal processing, mathematical modeling, and regression building for several products.

Environmental Sensor Application for Smartphones

Environmental sensors like temperature and humidity can be placed in smartphones to measure ambient conditions. However, the sensor readings are affected by various conditions specific to the phone, like self-heating and delayed response.

I worked on machine learning and sensor fusion methods to enable fast and accurate measurement of ambient conditions, using various techniques like nonlinear modeling and regression, time series forecasting, and filtering.
