Senior🎓
Top SchoolRohan Menon is a PhD student and graduate researcher at the MIT Media Lab with eight years of experience designing ultra-low-power embedded systems and protocols for battery-less sensing. His work spans hardware, firmware, FPGA toolchains, and simulated RTL CI, with recent research focused on battery-less underwater sensing using acoustic backscatter. Previously he built wireless protocols and automated FPGA testing pipelines at WaveWorks and developed the WISP family of UHF RFID-powered sensors and GPU-accelerated RF/network simulators at UW Sensor Systems Lab. Rohan combines hands-on system engineering with research publications in wireless sensing and delay-tolerant networking, and has practical experience integrating power-harvesting devices into real-world toolchains. Based in Cambridge, he brings a unique blend of applied research and production-minded engineering aimed at enabling sensing in environments where batteries aren’t an option.
