Meet @AkarshPrabhakar, a new CS assistant professor researching wireless and cyber-physical systems.
Prabhakara joins @UWMadison from @CMU_ECE, where he was co-advised by Anthony Rowe and @swarunk.
Our latest Q&A gives greater insight into his research:

The era of small satellite constellations is coming! Yet, the infrastructure to connect them from the ground remains limited. Our new publication, Vista, in @TheOfficialACM TOSN, shows how we can instead use existing ground infrastructure to bootstrap the connectivity bottleneck!

📣📣 Have you ever wondered how can we extend point based RF spectrum measurements to a full fledged spectrum map across an area in a cheap and scalable manner?
Clue: RFIDs to the rescue.
Find out more about our work at my talk at @ACMMobiCom.

How do you know your smart speaker isn’t *always* listening? How do you know it’s not sharing more info with the cloud than it needs to?
There’s currently no way to check, but @CyLab researchers are close to a solution.
