Please Note

Since Internet of Things (IoT) technologies are emerging into our daily lives, it’s really exciting to see how they are turning a college into a connected smart campus where students and teachers can really witness the changes brought on by advancing tech.

Tom Collins

Tom Collins, a researcher from Aarhus University in Denmark, will visit x.factory to share about his Aarhus University Smart Campus Project tonight. He will also discuss the development of IoT technology in Denmark based on his fair experience in the IoT industry, followed by a Q&A session.

As a long-established and the largest comprehensive university in Denmark, Aarhus University has embarked on an exciting initiative to deploy an IoT sensing and perception test bed led by Collins using open-source hardware and a novel and dynamic approach to deploying new software services and sensing instrumentation, which enables researchers, students and local businesses to explore and understand the campus pulse.

“We will also be using many of the Seeed Grove sensors as environmental sensors in 50 of the gateways. We aim to use this to optimize the HVAC systems, improve and understand air quality in different areas and also sound and light levels which may correlate with better attention levels,” said Collins.

As one of Intel’s Innovators, Collins is a full stack developer, service designer and IoT evangelist. He recently started a research role at Aarhus University developing strategies for digital business model development and exploring service design methods for the adoption of novel technologies in SME’s. Collins has started several companies and supported many initiatives about IoT including iotmethodology.com, pleq.io, allthingstalk.com and iotopia.be.
