About

Prasant Misra’s research lies at the intersection of the Internet of Things (IoT), wireless sensor networks, and robotics, with a strong focus on safety-critical applications in challenging environments. His early work advanced ultrasonic-based localization systems, improving coverage range for indoor asset tracking and navigation—a foundational contribution cited 17 times. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Misra explored how IoT and sensor networks enable frontline applications, from drone-based public surveillance to digital assistants for indoor isolation, demonstrating the societal relevance of his work (13 citations). A significant portion of his research addresses the mining industry, where he developed communication and monitoring systems to enhance miner safety. His “SkyHelp” and “Wireless Robotics Networks for Search and Rescue in Underground Mines” projects (each with 8 citations) provide reliable networks for emergency response and routine operations in hazardous underground environments. Misra also contributed to fine-grained range estimation in the ultrasonic domain for both indoor and outdoor settings, as seen in his “TWEET” paper (7 citations). Through these efforts, Misra has established himself as a key figure in applying IoT and robotics to improve safety and operational efficiency in high-risk industrial contexts.
