Saving the environment to save ourselves
Research led by Anamitra Pal, an associate professor in the School of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering, part of the Fulton Schools, is focused on developing and deploying monitoring systems to help protect electric power systems in the U.S. It’s one of many ASU science and engineering projects promising to help the U.S. and the world save and protect vital infrastructure. Pal has led development of the Wildlife Awareness and Risk Management System to deploy wireless sensors that monitor the environment around power transmission systems in remote locations.
