Professor and Joseph E. Aoun Chair, 

Our research focuses on building radically resource-aware sensing systems that sense only what matters - systems that diagnose, monitor, protect, and connect. By uniting physics, hardware, signal processing, and artificial intelligence, our group develops intelligent, interpretable, and sustainable sensing technologies that improve human life and strengthen security. This vision, which we call Green Intelligence, seeks to redefine the relationship between information, energy, and purpose: sensing not for maximal data, but for maximal insight and information. Our group conducts research at the intersection of artificial intelligence, sensing, signal processing, and biomedical engineering, with a strong emphasis on real-world impact in healthcare, communications, and defense.
