• Ability to visualize and analyze processed data in Matlab, Jupyter notebooks, or similar tools and bring the data into AI analytical tools.
• Experience with processing data streams from sensing technologies, such as metal oxide, electrochemical, optical (non-dispersive infrared, passive infrared, light scattering), light intensity, and/or sound.
• Previous experience or technical understanding of how to combine these data streams into an AI algorithm for the purposes of event classification.
• Understanding on how to compress these algorithms so they can run not only in cloud architectures, but also locally on microcontrollers (Edge-based AI). This can be explored as part of the co-op, if prior experience is missing.
