PRIVATE RESEARCH

JEPA-FHIR

Research connecting self-supervised representation learning with interoperable healthcare data.

PUBLIC RESEARCH ARTIFACT · IEEE HEALTHCOM 2026

HIPAA compliance algebra

Manuscript source, experiments, results, and figures for the accepted paper on privacy-preserving, confidence-aware FHIR R4 exchange grounded in Subjective Logic.

v0.2.0

ArcMind

A causal, dual-rate sequence backbone for streaming sensor policies.

MACHINE KNOWLEDGE

Subjective Logic RAG

Experiments in time-aware uncertainty, evidence confidence, and belief propagation for retrieval systems.

Current builds / October 2026

Current projects.

Recent work in AI agents, robotics, environmental sensing, and energy-aware computing.

TEAM COLLABORATION · HARDWARE

Dewin / envlab

An October 2026 hardware-hackathon collaboration connecting a mobile exposure timeline with nearby air and water sensor readings, plus a check-in kiosk.

COLLABORATION · HACKATHON PROJECT

Gatehouse

A vendor-review and onboarding project built with Katherine Burge. Muntaser contributed Pollard evidence ledgers, action/refusal records, seals, telemetry, and offline replay; Katherine built the agent fleets and cloud deployment.

APPLIED INSTALLATION · CONTROLLER SOFTWARE

Dreamland floor projection

Raspberry Pi controller software by Muntaser Syed for an overhead projector, with looping playback and optional person detection. Artwork by Tec (Tec Fase).

ENERGY-GOVERNED AGENTS

WattWarden

Energy-governed agents with provisioning tools, Pollard execution controls, and documented Arm cloud and phone experiments. Server energy is predicted by the TOML model; phone energy is measured through battery telemetry.

COLLABORATION · ARM CREATE CHALLENGE

Joulehound

An Arm-device energy-profiling collaboration for local AI-agent workloads, comparing measured battery telemetry with FLOPs and NEXUS/TOML estimates. Created for the Arm Create: AI Optimization Challenge.
