Rogers, Professor Alex

Prof. Alex Rogers develops and applies artificial intelligence and machine learning approaches within physical sensor systems to address real-world problems focusing on sustainability. His recent work has addressed future energy systems, such as the smart grid, citizen science platforms, and environmental monitoring, and typically involves the real-world deployment of novel approaches in devices, smartphones or the cloud. He was the co-founder of a home heating advice spin-out, called Joulo, that combined a unique low-cost temperature logger with cloud-based analytics. He maintains the GridCarbon app for monitoring the carbon intensity of the UK electricity grid, is searching for the New Forest cicada using smartphones and is developing a low-cost, open-source, acoustic logger, called AudioMoth, for environmental and biodiversity monitoring.
