DESCRIPTION:<b>Abstract</b>\n\nA huge level of growth in wireless sensors 
 is predicted with the expansion of the internet of things. However\, many 
 sensors will be very constrained by the power which they can harvest to se
 nse\, process and transmit information. In many cases conventional radios 
 make up the vast majority of this energy use and duty cycling must be empl
 oyed. Backscatter communication offers an alternative ultra low power comm
 unication which is achieved by takings most of the radio functions away fr
 om the sensor nodes into an interrogator. I will show how this idea can be
  extended to remove other power hungry elements from sensors and discuss t
 he wider system level implications and challenges\n\n \n<b>Biography</b>\n
 \nMichael Crisp is an Associate Professor at the Department of Engineering
  at Cambridge University. His research interests include ultra low power r
 adio and radio over fibre systems.\n\n<b>Registration</b>\nFor online part
