Hi! I'm Viswajith., a Ph.D. student in the Computer Engineering program at the University of Virginia (UVA), advised by Prof. Brad Campbell. My research focuses around applications of sensor networks, sensing modalities, and dealing with energy management for ultralow power sensor class devices.
I am a member of the Link Lab at UVA, a multidisciplinary lab focusing on Cyber-Physical Systems, specifically Smart Cities, Smart Health, Autonomous Vehicles and Robotics, and Hardware for IoT. I also serve as a member of the Professional Development Committee at the link lab.
I contribute to TockOS, a secure embedded operating system designed for running multiple concurrent, mutually distrustful applications on resource constrained microcontrollers (think RPi Pico/nRF52840). Tock Supports Cortex-M and RISC-V class chips. My latest work was the Dynamic User Application Loading feature.
I was with DTDS Technology Pvt. Lte. for 3 years. DTDS is a parts distribution vendor who branched into R&D.
I also enjoy playing video games, reading comics, stargazing, and puns.
