On May 14, 2024, Dr. James C. Peyton Jones delivered a talk entitled “Embedded Systems, IoT, and Remote Monitoring and Control for Water Resource Applications” for the 61st NIGS Lecture Series at the NIGS Seminar Room at 3:30 PM.
The lecture explored the integration of modern microprocessors in IoT (Internet of Things) applications, highlighting the critical need for water monitoring in climate-change-driven regions. Dr. Peyton Jones introduced his low-cost system, which encompasses both embedded data logging and telemetry hardware, alongside a 'back-end' system utilizing cloud-based tools such as Google Sheets to make data available on non-proprietary database platforms. Through a brief demonstration, he showed how his system can be further applied in water monitoring systems, where data gathered by connected sensors are stored in the data logger and accessed remotely through cellular service or Wi-Fi connection.
Dr. Peyton Jones is a professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at Villanova University, USA. He earned his B.A. in Engineering Science from Balliol College, Oxford University, and then obtained his doctorate from Sheffield University, Department of Control Engineering.
The event was co-organized with the Iuvenis Orbis Geological Fraternity.
