Low-Power IoT Systems
Teaching low-power embedded communication and IoT with emphasis on energy-aware design, energy harvesting, TinyML, constrained devices and hands-on system projects.
Academic Activities
Alongside research, I am actively involved in teaching, student supervision, academic governance, professional service, and the organisation of scientific workshops and conferences. These activities allow me to connect research with education, contribute to the wider academic community, and support the development of young researchers.
