Summer 2019
- Improving the performance of Hyperledger Fabric. We've already got it to [20,000 tps (see FastFabric), and our goal is to get to 100,000 tps by and further parallelizing the committer peer (with Christian Gorenflo and Lukasz Golab)
- Using Fabric to provide an audit trail for electric vehicle charging (with Christian Gorenflo, Lukasz Golab, and SWTCH EV Inc.)
- Using deep neural networks to compute optimal (MPC-computed) storage operation strategies (with Fiodar Kazhamiaka and Catherine Rosenberg)
- Using cloud cover and solar panel images to detect panel soiling and shadowing (with Yingjie Chen)
Spring 2019
- Using IoT to reduce energy costs of lighting (with Yerbol Aussat)
- Managing data consent on Fabric (with Rishav Agarwal, Dhruv Kumar, Pedro Velmovitsky, Plinio Morita, and Lukasz Golab)
- Reducing the cost of personal thermal comfort systems (with Costin Ograda-Bratu)
Winter 2019
- Using computer vision algorithms to estimate the degree of snow cover on solar panels (with Jia Ying Lin)
- Improving the accuracy of RFID-based sensors (with Ju Wang and Omid Abari)
- Designing and building an off-grid system to capture e-scooter activity and accidents (with Tingyun Liu and Lime Inc.)
- Improving the description of research outcomes from my energy systems research (with Shela Qiu)
