Tim Daulby wins Best Pitch Video Award at ENSsys 2020

Tim Daulby has won an award for presenting his work on intermittent computing at ENSsys 2020, the 8th International Workshop on Energy Harvesting & Energy-Neutral Sensing Systems.

Tim's paper, entitled ''Exploring NVM technologies through the lens of intermittent computation'', evaluated emerging non-volatile memory technologies across a number of metrics. It explored their impact on the design of intermittent computing devices.

For this virtual event, all presenters were asked to produce a three-minute pitch video. To illustrate the comparisons, Tim took a novel approach, commenting "I chose to graph the comparisons on my kitchen counter using the materials available, which happened to be 200 5 pence coins I hadn't managed to take to the bank!"

He produced a stop motion animation that caught the panel's attention, resulting in the Best Pitch Video award.

He continued "Although conferences have been very different this year, the digital event was a great opportunity to explore creative ways to share my research. I had fun making the video, and was pleased it sparked opportunities to chat with other researchers in the Zoom 'poster room'."
