Build a Novel Wind Sensor Using Wireless Signals

wireless wind sensor covered in snow.

You will be able to "see" the wind from wireless signals. 

Project description

Wind sensors can drive many applications, from structural health to environmental health. In this project, we will explore an array of wireless signals (e.g., ultrasound, radio-frequency and lights) to build novel wind sensors for mobile and personalized applications. 

Project outcome

The goal of this project is to develop a hardware prototype of wind sensors.
