Jesse Codling receives ACM BuildSys 2024 paper award for work on heart rate monitoring
Codling’s project, aptly named “FloHR,” uses geophones to measure human heart rate through floor vibrations in home environments.Pei Zhang will contribute to a new NSF Center for Insights into the Pre-Emergence Phase of Pandemics
Prof. Zhang will develop sensor systems to model the movement and risk factors of animal populations in disease spread as part of the interdisciplinary NSF center.Two EECS PhD students receive Qualcomm Innovation Fellowship
Cameron Haire and Jiale Zhang have been selected as recipients of the prestigious fellowship, which aims to support forward-thinking PhD student research.Jesse Codling wins Best Presentation award for sensors that help protect these little piggies in their pens
Known affectionately as “The Sh*tty Project,” Codling, an ECE PhD student, monitors the vibrations in pig pens to track the health of the piglets and predict when they’re in danger.The Wall Street Journal: December 3, 2021

Sense & Sensibilities
ASEE’s interview with Pei Zhang describes his research (including helping the elderly, identifying a certain disease in children by their gait, and ensuring healthy pigs) as well as his family history as Chinese engineers in America and the accompanying challenges.Pei Zhang solemnly swears that he’s up to some good
In a project he calls the “Marauder’s Map,” Prof. Zhang uses machine learning-based data models, physics models, and heuristic models to turn physical structures into sensing devices.
