Pervasive information technology is the trend towards increasingly ubiquitous connected computing sensors, devices, and networks that monitor and respond transparently to human needs. The Pervasive Information Technologies Program facilitates the creation of standards for sensor communication, networking interoperability, and sensor information security. The Program enables the use of pervasive information technologies to enhance personal and professional productivity and quality of life.

### Programs/Projects:

Radio Frequency (RF) Propagation from Wearable and Implantable Medical Sensors

Modeling & Characterization of Harvestable Kinetic Energy for Wearable Medical Sensors

Interference Analysis and Mitigation for Body Area Networks

Smart Autonomous Sensors & Environments

### Latest Publications:
