Data/Edge use-case thesis collaboration: Identify TV content through power consumption data

Thesis collaboration

Salary: Unpaid

Introduction

We are a hardware (IoT) and AI climate tech startup founded in 2022 on a mission to completely digitize homes to help eliminate all energy waste and make homes safer through unprecedented transparency.

Our combined hardware-enabled AI solution disaggregates the total electricity consumption down to each individual device in real-time, opening up new ways for homeowners to understand their homes.



We are backed by an early-stage VC and a group of strategic business angels with impressive exits to companies like Oculus/Facebook/Meta, Bain & Company, and EQT. With Float you get a fun and friendly app for every homeowner. Think of it as the Apple Health app but for your home’s well-being.



The Topic

Push our technology to the max! The overall question is: Can electricity consumption data from a television (OLED) be used to determine what is being watched on the television? and can we make a power profile for a Game Of Thrones episode or The Matrix based on our proprietary data collected and processed with our IoT module? We do not expect that you, alone, can master all the disciplines it takes to complete a project like this, we have the team internally to support you. We are all super excited to see how precise and how far we can go with our technology.



We understand that there needs to be a scientific approach included in your thesis and we are very open to various suggestions here. About you

We are looking for students with a strong mathematical background and interest. You could be studying Mathematical Modelling, Data Science, Computer Science, related fields of Engineering etc.



We are open to collaborate with students from all universities offering masters degrees in these fields of studying.

All or some of these attributes describe you:

  • Genuine desire to work with AI after graduating
  • Interest in time series data.
  • First principle thinking problem solver
  • Entrepreneurial mindset



If this sounds like you, then we can offer a unique opportunity to work with a vast amount of proprietary data and the chance to build and scale a custom end-to-end AI solution. In addition to the AI team, we also have an Embedded Software team and a Back-End team.



In short, we are looking for students with drive, high degree of intellectual curiosity, eagerness to acquire unique hands-on experience and a desire to work on impactful solutions that will delivery real results in real life settings. By taking on this project you will also have the potential of joining a highly ambitious and growing hardware and AI climate tech startup.

Working at Float

Today, a surprisingly large amount of energy is wasted in homes every day – yes, even yours! This means money and CO2 are literally going up in smoke. Plus, as we fill our homes with new gadgets, devices, and appliances, the risk of electrical mishaps is climbing too.
