Embedded Sensor Networks for Smart Utilities, Sports Medicine, and Interactive Media

Mark holds a Ph.D. from M.I.T. in Media Arts and Sciences, where he worked on energy efficient systems at a wide range of scales. From micropower energy harvesters and analog circuit design to intelligent building control systems, his work has found applications in wireless sensor networks, where battery lifetimes are of great concern.

The Media Lab is a place where the future is lived, not imagined. Our domain is applying unorthodox research approaches for envisioning the impact of emerging technologies on everyday life—technologies that promise to fundamentally transform our most basic notions of human capabilities. Unconstrained by traditional disciplines, Lab designers, engineers, artists, and scientists work atelier-style in close to 30 re search groups conducting more than 300 projects that range from neuroengineering, to how children learn, to a stackable, electric car for tomorrow's city. Lab researchers foster a unique culture of learning by doing, developing technologies that empower people of all ages, from all walks of life, in all societies, to design and invent new pos sibilities for themselves and their communities.
