    Bringing massive connectivity to low-cost, low-power ocean sensors is important for numerous applications spanning marine sciences, sustainability, climatology, defense, robotics, geology, space exploration, and food security. However, standard IoT technologies (e.g., Bluetooth, WiFi, GPS) cannot operate underwater, which has left 70% of our planet (the ocean) beyond their reach. In this talk, I will describe how our research is changing this reality by inventing IoT technologies that are inherently designed for the ocean. Specifically, I will show how by rethinking the entire IoT technology stack in the context of oceans, my team introduced low-cost (< $100), net-zero-power, scalable connectivity technologies that seamlessly operate underwater and pave the way for massive underwater sensing, networking, localization, imaging, and machine learning. I will also discuss our recent explorations into a new technology for direct underwater-to-air communication. I will conclude the talk by describing how the fundamental innovations underlying our technologies extend beyond the ocean, and how my team also applies them to help address global problems in healthcare, robotics, and automation.
