What We Study

Research Areas

01

Intermittent Computing

Systems that survive power loss mid-execution on batteryless hardware. Our CheckMate work (ACM SenSys 2025) uses LLMs to automate energy-accuracy trade-offs on energy-harvesting devices.

02

Embedded Security

Side-channel attacks and defences on constrained IoT hardware. Our AsiaCCS 2025 paper demonstrates eavesdropping via temporal IMU misalignment on commodity smartphones.

03

Cyber-Physical Systems

Deployable, zero-maintenance sensing for real infrastructure. Cleanify (NRPU 2024–26) achieves 99.3% LoRaWAN reliability across 5 LUMS campus sites with no batteries.

04

Privacy in Pervasive Computing

Consent-driven privacy for wearables and smart glasses. Two papers accepted at IEEE PerCom 2026 and ACM CHI 2026 on bystander privacy with consent-based restoration.
