IoT Thrust Seminar - Internet of Things research leading to industrial impact
The Internet of Things (IoT) provides the necessary technologies to support key societal and industrial applications such as smart urban management, precision agriculture, and Industry 4.0. Despite this clear potential, recent analyses show that IoT deployment is proceeding slower than expected due to a lack of systematic design methodologies, inflexible platforms, poor reliability and limited operational lifetime. Over the last several years, my research has produced both foundational and applied contributions in IoT systems. In this presentation, I will present my research methodology which combines self-adaptive software and hardware/software co-design to enable a new generation of IoT platforms. I will also share some firsthand experiences in designing IoT system for real-world industrial applications for both industrial projects and an IoT spin-off company.
Dr. Fan Yang is currently a postdoc researcher in the imec-DistriNet research group, KU Leuven, Belgium, where he also received his PhD in January 2019. His research focuses on the Internet of Things and specifically technologies that accelerate the mass deployment of a new generation of more flexible, reliable, and sustainable IoT applications. Besides academia, he also has a passion to bring the technologies out of the lab into real-world applications. He is listed as technology inventor of a KU Leuven spin-off company, and he participated in multiple industrial projects that collaborate with commercial partners.
