Curated Highlights
Four projects give a glimpse into parts of my work — from the systems foundations of intermittent computing to community-grounded AI in Hawaiʻi. For the full record, see Publications or Google Scholar.
A fully playable handheld console powered only by solar and kinetic (button-mash) energy harvesting. Intermittent-computing checkpointing lets gameplay pause and resume instantly across power failures, with no battery in sight.
A Communications of the ACM research review, co-authored with nine researchers across five institutions, mapping the shift from battery-powered IoT to devices that run entirely on harvested energy — the field I helped pioneer.
Soil microbial fuel cells engineered into a practical, maintenance-free power source for remote environmental sensors — turning ordinary dirt into decades-long, self-renewing electricity for conservation and agricultural monitoring.
Culturally-authentic generative AI tools that give Hawaiian-medium and place-based educators (kumu) agency over curriculum content and data sovereignty, instead of importing off-the-shelf AI into Hawaiian K-12 classrooms.
