Internships at WSN Lab

Wednesday, April 16th, 2008

The WSN Lab sponsored by Pirelli and Telecom Italia, located in Downtown Berkeley near the University campus, develops wireless sensor networks technologies for applications in automotive, building management, and assisted living.

There are five Internships available, extending between 3 and 6 months.

The Intern will have the opportunity to contribute to the SPINE open source project that is developed by a community of researchers in the academia and the industry. (Options 2, 3 and 4)

A look at battery-less, mesh sensor nets

Wednesday, April 16th, 2008

Ultra-low-power ZigBee-based wireless mesh networks, powered by a variety of energy-harvesting technologies, make it possible to create the first truly wireless and battery-less sense and control networks for regulating energy consumption in domestic and industrial uses.

Homes, offices and factories waste energy on lighting, heating and air conditioning. With the help of light- and temperature-sensor network technologies, energy conservation processes such as turning off lights and adjusting temperature now can be automated, reducing costs.
