Thesis type EXPERIMENTAL
Description One of the main goals in the following decade is to reduce the carbon footprint due to anthropic activities: precision agriculture is one of the solutions in such a way as to find the best set of optimal solutions to reduce resource waste in agriculture activities, improving the sustainability of the food supply chain.
In a first stage, candidate will characterize a commercial integrated circuit for battery monitoring for primary batteries (ex. LiSOCl2 chemistry batteries) designed for harsh environments as agriculture orchards. A demonstration board will help both to understand the functionalities of the chip and develop a portable library written in C for low-power microcontrollers.
Finally, candidate could implement his/her knowledge in the hardware development of autonomous custom IoT boards for precision agriculture developed in our research group.
