A gunshot detector integrated into existing GPS tracking collars. It tries to solve two major problems: power consumption and detection accuracy. The main novelty is an acoustic delay line that enables ultra-low-power consumption as it fully implements the always-on listening functionality.
We published our results on MobiSys'19, Seoul, South Korea

Schizophrenia is a mental disease that affects the functionality of the nervous system. This nervous system is
responsible for and controls the response of the pupil to light stimulus - called the pupillary light reflex.
There is a transitive effect of schizophrenia on the pupillary reflex, therefore with the analysis of the dynamics of the
reflex response, we can obtain information about the diseas.
We recorded and analyzed the pupillary light responses of rats with schizophrenia-like alterations, synthoms
and showed that major differences exist between the healthy and unhealthy animals' pupillary reflexes.
We published our results:
