Research Assistants
Roshan Adhikari
I am a Research Associate and Technical Support member at the Acadia AIoT Research Hub and an Honours Computer Science student at Acadia University. My work focuses on embedded systems, the Internet of Things (IoT), wireless sensor networks, and edge AI. I enjoy designing and developing firmware, building IoT solutions, and working on research that applies to AI to solve real-world problems. I am particularly interested in embedded software development, firmware engineering, computer architecture, and AI-powered development tools. I enjoy learning new technologies, tackling challenging engineering problems, and building systems that bridge the gap between hardware and software. My goal is to develop innovative technologies that make embedded systems more accessible, efficient, and intelligent.
Claire Dinn
Dhriti Dhriti
I am an undergraduate student at Acadia University pursuing a Bachelor of Applied Computer Science with a specialization in Data Analytics. Dr. Esteve Hassan's courses inspired me to join the AARH Lab and contribute to gastrointestinal (GI) research through literature reviews, data analysis, and the evaluation of emerging sensing technologies. My interests include artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data analytics, particularly in their applications to healthcare. Through my research, I hope to develop innovative, data-driven solutions that improve patient care and advance biomedical research.
Nathan Fredericks
Nathan is a fifth-year computer science student with work experience in software engineering. He is interested in hardware, and in how it can be used to learn more about the environment around us and support further research. Sensors are a direct way to do that, since they turn something physical into data you can work with. At AARH, he works with the team on industrial soil moisture sensors and their applications for compost monitoring.
Layla Astorquiza
Born in Peru, a recent graduate of Acadia's Bachelor of Applied Science program, and soon to enter Dalhousies Electrical Engineering program. I joined the AARH Lab after being inspired by Professor Esteve Hassan's courses. This experience has been instrumental in my professional growth, providing hands-on access to advanced equipment I wouldn't otherwise encounter. I am deeply grateful to Acadia and the AARH Lab for this transformative opportunity.
Master's Students
Kayla Moorcroft
I am passionate about creating technological solutions that have impact. Having recently completed a Bachelor of Applied Science (Engineering) and Bachelor of Computer Science at Acadia University, I knew that I wanted to continue with research and practical application of my studies at a master's level. I was introduced to robotics in the 8th grade and have been fascinated with the integration of hardware and software technology ever since.
