AI RESEARCH / SUSTAINABILITY & APPLIED SYSTEMS
Making more
of limited resources.
My research spans sustainable AI infrastructure, point-of-care computing, and autonomous food cultivation. These projects explore how technology can support people in settings where computing, energy, and physical resources are constrained.
Different settings.
Shared constraints.
The work connects three questions: how to give functional hardware a longer useful life, how to bring computation closer to healthcare, and how to support food cultivation during long-duration space missions.
Repurposing discarded GPUs for AI development.
Exploring point-of-care AI at the edge.
Autonomous duckweed systems for nutrition support.
01 / SUSTAINABLE AI
Give functional hardware
a second life.
“Zombie GPUs” aim to tackle the growing issue of hardware filling up landfills. These GPUs are still functional but “outdated” for modern AI development. The goal is to intercept them from being trashed and use them for less computationally intense tasks.
From disposal
to reuse.
The proposed approach brings together hardware stress testing, refurbishment, and open-source software for older GPUs. It frames collaboration between manufacturers, refurbishment centers, researchers, and communities as part of a more circular hardware lifecycle.
02 / EDGE HEALTHCARE
Bring computation closer
to the point of care.
This research explores edge computing for point-of-care healthcare, including settings where reliable connectivity and computing resources are limited. The work considers local processing and smaller models as part of a sustainable approach to AI-supported healthcare.

03 / AUTONOMOUS CULTIVATION
Grow nutrition.
Monitor the system.
The cultivation research explores duckweed as a protein source for long-duration spaceflight and sustainable food systems on Earth. The project materials describe an autonomous harvesting chamber with a Raspberry Pi interface for growth tracking and sensor monitoring.
Autonomous Duckweed Cultivation for Nutrition Support in Long-Duration Spaceflight was accepted for the 55th International Conference on Environmental Systems.
