About

Yasmim Sagrillo Pimassoni is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of visible light communication (VLC) and low-cost, accessible hardware. Her key research area focuses on repurposing everyday consumer electronics—specifically smartphone LEDs—as transmitters for VLC systems, enabling novel forms of data transmission and control. Her most notable contribution is the development of a homemade remote-controlled car that uses a smartphone’s light to send commands, a project detailed in her 2021 paper. This work demonstrates how a low-cost Arduino kit and a standard smartphone can be combined to create functional VLC-based control systems, making the technology more tangible and affordable for hobbyists and students. While her citation count is currently modest, the practical, hands-on nature of her research highlights a growing interest in democratizing optical wireless communication. Pimassoni’s work serves as an inspiring example of how complex communication concepts can be brought to life with simple, off-the-shelf components, bridging the gap between theoretical VLC research and real-world, low-cost applications.
